YooHyun Jeon

(2004* Seoul, KR)

based in Boston & Seoul 

YooHyun Jeon (b. 2004, Seoul) is an artist working across drawing and sculpture. Her work focuses on moments when experience does not arrive clearly. Emotions, bodily sensations, memory, and even death are rarely perceived all at once; instead, they reach us in delayed, distorted, or uneven forms. Her practice attends to this misaligned arrival.

Rather than presenting life as a coherent narrative, she approaches it as a field of unresolved abstractions. While language and intuition attempt to organize experience into meaning, not every moment becomes immediately legible. Her work resists resolving these conditions, instead holding them in suspension. For her, abstraction is not simply ambiguity, but a condition that opens space for interpretation and imagination.

She does not directly represent events. Instead, she focuses on what remains afterward: traces, residues, and surfaces where meaning has yet to fully settle. Working across drawing and sculpture, she investigates how perception shifts according to distance, language, and the position of the viewer.

Rather than arriving at a fixed conclusion, her works maintain an unstable state. Between what is seen and what is felt, what is articulated and what remains, viewers are invited to navigate their own interpretations.
