The Impulse Garden

September 16, 2006- October 28, 2006

Reception: September 16, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Kyung Jeon

The Proposition

559 W 22nd St

The Proposition gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the New York-based artist Kyung Jeon. The Impulse Garden, Jeon's second solo exhibition at The Proposition includes several new large-scale paintings/drawings on rice paper and canvas.

For her latest exhibition, The Impulse Garden, Jeon has developed recurring characters in her work who seem to have run amok in their fantasy garden. The paintings are drawn from a stream of consciousness where nothing is censored. She impulsively exaggerates the characters' actions to communicate her thoughts and emotions on motherhood, death and relationships.

The ambiguous narrative creates a mysterious and anxious atmosphere, as fairies attack girls and boys, girls attack boys, and boys attack girls. In this flight of the imagination, an impelling force prompts unpremeditated acts and leads the characters into weird and twisted scenes. The narrative can be strange, perverse, humorous, violent or melancholy but is always balanced by the cuteness of the characters.

Kyung Jeon was born in 1975 in Jersey City, New Jersey, and received an MFA in 2005 from the School of Visual Arts, NY. She was selected to participate in the biannual ARTSPECTRUM 2006 exhibition at the new Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea from February to May 2006. She has been included in exhibitions in Brazil, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, California, Las Vegas and several New York galleries. She lives and works in Manhattan.
