Hyeyeon Chung is a South Korean artist whose work moves between memory, perception, and place. She studied traditional Korean painting in Seoul before completing her master’s in drawing at the University of the Arts London. Living and working across Korea, Ireland, the UK, and now Germany has shaped her perspective as both an artist and a diasporic subject, informing a practice that bridges cultural and spatial experiences.

Chung explores how landscapes carry memory, becoming both personal and collective spaces. Her works are layered fields where fragments of experience, displacement, and imagination overlap. The material presence of ink, thread, and textile suggests time and touch, while optical tension and abstraction unsettle what first appears familiar. She strives to combine minimalist elements with contemporary sensibilities, challenging viewers to see familiar landscapes anew. By merging nostalgia and modernity, she evokes beauty in the simplest, most restrained geometric forms.

Her creative process has evolved into a quiet ritual where embroidery meets ink. Every stitch and stroke is an exercise in patience and precision, crafted with the sensibility of printmaking. At GlogauAIR, Chung develops a project exploring memory and perception through layered gestures, extending it into participatory contexts that invite reflection on how surroundings and experiences shape our perception of the world and ourselves.
