Artist Info: Soo Young Chung (b. 1987, Seoul) is a Korean artist whose paintings explore herself and others through everyday spaces and mundane objects . Now based in London after completing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2018, Chung often depicts “biographical objects” of an imagined persona – ordinary items that act as intimate portraits of that persona’s life . For example, a pair of eggs on a table or a vase of pansies at a bus stop might become subjects in her small-scale works, painted in acrylic on silk or linen, that unfold a shared yet very personal language of the everyday . Despite the seemingly mundane content, her gentle color palette and sensitive, deliberate brushwork imbue the scenes with a quiet surrealism and emotional warmth. Chung’s work has been included in prominent group shows (such as the Saatchi Gallery’s “Abstract: Reality” in 2018) and was a finalist for awards like the Graduate Art Prize, underscoring her as a thoughtful voice in contemporary figurative painting.
