SOUTH KOREA

Yellow and Black Photography Quote (1).p

Driven by curiosity, she poses the question of how societies construct their original functionality in creative domains.

Jenny Jiyoung Han, a multi-disciplinary visual artist, has gained international recognition from gallery representation since the 2020 summertime when the Covid-19 hit across the world.

Jenny’s curious character is a product of her upbringing from a very conventional background in South Korea. Her journey started as against the second level of appreciation to artists who apply the innermost intangible qualities of their imaginations in most spheres of life.

Her mind seems to appear in the symbolism of visual connections. She always sees the linkages between the abstract shapes of thinking and reality. Human life itself is a canvas with the form of abstract images that capture a series of powerful messages. Her abstract art is a type of expressionism of a life philosophy making public excitement which has lots of potentials to grow.

Jenny used to plant and care for sunflowers till harvesting their seeds at the end of their life.
When the moments she saw the coming head of thinning out her seedings, she was overwhelmed by the hidden sound of a scream from the tiny creatures as if it sounds "Look! I am here! I have come into this world!". She adored their appearances of reaching to this world as lovely as how they looked.

She was intrigued by cartoon-based storybooks, making her enthusiasm to see reality as an abstract figure of platforms. She loved the dreamy lanes of focusing eyes into the philosophical world. The enthusiastic approach to the images of fantasia intrigued her into her soul. And, this energy of herself created the foundation of the realm of seeing the world as a symbolic platform. She could capture the naiveness from her soul into the visual canvas that could be in any direction of transformations as an art format. The majority of her works contribute to linking the syntax of image makings that she tries not to use any of the previous inventions experimented by other artists.

Once you start integrating with some sensible elements around us, you sock in the colour of environments. You touch blue, but you are from the yellow background, then you try to reach the colour yourself as similar as blueing background. You can not blend yourselves as an exact colour of the blue environment, so you strive, you fail to reach the actual blue colour. It takes time to know that you are more precious with the colour of origin, yellow. You only need to learn how to get along with.

She also was fascinated by the psychology of human behaviors caused by specific obstacles to surmount when she was upbringing. For instance, during the development to the professional level, she needed to devote time to her talents and interests to fulfil. Moreover, her interests scattered over a million pieces of her activities: Fashion, abstract art, illustration, decorative art, psychology, science fiction, animation, electronic pop music, teaching, and the English language. There were certain levels of difficulties to choose her career path, targeting the right move that focused on the required qualifications in the specific time of her 20s. She still remembers there was no concrete image of careers she could go for in the name of Contemporary Visual Artist in South Korea during the 20s. Only participating in some gallery projects in a fine art studio was her limit to make progress.

Sunflower itself represents multiple creations that contain the whole validity of recreational meanings beyond what the eyes see in the world.

The fashion education system at the London College of Fashion was always within the realms of commerciality and academia that helped 50% of her vision glowed, but for the rest of 50% was a huge setback to enrich her foundation on academic research in a global aspect. She believed world art studies should get along within the ideological domains, even in the most commercial field, the fashion market.

The hallmarks of originality are such hard work from rejecting a default and taking on controversy to explore a much bigger print of existence. The hallmarks of the brilliant mind with an independent complexity in hearty dignity can forbid the hindrance of challenging the bottom line of the safety net.

It has extremely been a long-distance journey to get on with what she is so into for representing her best self. Her softness and tenderness on people she loves was the main reason to have a pervasive effect on her art. But, unfortunately, she was full of disdain for people's non-ideal minds of reaching out to the people with having a bonded feeling. It was somehow the fundamental cause why she was so into creating the tangible visual translation to the most uncertain atmosphere, circumstance, and psychological-emotional movement in the human brain.

The way to long-distance of self-unknown, but subconsciously knowing where to go. I see what I see from me, not from you.

We all look for the completed perfect version of sunflower at the end of our life journey. The finalized form of sunflower has lots of different shapes and figures of beauty because we all have diverse lives that make us beautiful.

The new Apple starts existing down to earth.

It was a difficult task to make something new happened from nothing grounded without a guide hands. As her characteristic traits, questioning people’s level of brilliant minds, she never had a single chance to find a helping hand from others. So, she has only stood herself all alone to take rein or cards in her hands to make her future progress. But, she believes there are lots of people who are willing to see more connections between people who want to strive for sharing the fundamental purpose of life. Because she was impressed by how beautifully the human being exists to demonstrate as the definition of one’s purpose for living and ambition. She believes that the dream of each beautifulness visualizes in real life bring us to see the inner voice with our own eyes.

Jenny’s generosity on sunflowers was an artistic depiction of her difficult situations when she had her upbringing by her parents. She saw loves and hurts at the same time of happening moments.

Currently, she is working on a new experiment with her artworks by using digital tools. Her pleasure represents through the package of her life stories, revealed to a form of visual art transforming by manipulating digital devices. She can handle either way of both digitally created versions and handed painting version to supply as a form of art medium in communication. Both versions can convert one method from the other by her skillful ability. However, she has chosen the communication way by digital creations. She loves to challenge the structure of techno-skepticism in the abstract art platform because her life was full of challenges for getting to know the unknown that she never expected to fit in.

"Sunflowers always brings me happy from the first to the end.
I weep buckets, but she remains as happy flowers beside me.
She also struggles among the aggressive crowds while she was having her childhood. She stands from her broken heart, getting stamped on unmerciful circumstances.
I weep buckets again because I feel her pains deep inside. But, she comes sorrowfully, yet she gives me another a glimpse of smile for my little happiness."

Her artworks are presented by taking some whimsical abstract figures and cartoon based illustrated resources into one particular 2D format and then re-formats the subjective images, remaining equivocal resemblances, and familiar symbols. Typically, her adoration of the sunflower became her lovable symbol of creation. Every piece of her artwork has been set as a range of sunflower series that explains the personal depiction of human life story. Sunflower itself represents multiple creations that contain the whole validity of recreational meanings beyond what the eyes see in the world. All the floral associations depict sunflowers, but with every aspect of details, consciously and unconsciously using all packages her skills, both for redefining figurative and abstract languages with colour theory and expressing inner-self into the particular natural object.

Human being has developed themselves in a unique form of self-location under the subjectivity in the present society. The solid self-construction under the dominant cultures leads the whole planet, effected our daily lives deeply. We know the concrete image of rules and regulations are doom to demolish by the new forms of concepts or notions from the next generations. The purpose of human existence should be from discovering the most authentic and genuine living statements we haven't seen yet.

Jenny believes that the dream of each beautifulness visualizes in real life bring us to see the inner voice with our own eyes.

You can not blame the wind hurting you.
You can only survive over the wind, not against the wind.

At present, she is grateful and appreciative for gaining genuine connections between international artists and art lovers through her fan-based responses on her Instagram gallery.

A sunflower became one of the suns, but still concealing herself underneath the apple tree.

We strive to live up our lives ten times better and longer than regular lives. Sunflower's spiral shapes expanding floral leaf to leaf makes me feel amazed at the rhythm of its life energy.

“I’ve always loved the dreamy lanes of focusing eyes into the philosophical world.”
