Geonyul Jang

Jang Geon-yul mainly draws lines and colors from nature, such as flowers and plants, which can be easily encountered in everyday life but may be overlooked by capturing nature as seen from his personal perspective. The shapes of flowers and plants that make up the composition on a canvas are familiar natural objects that the artist can easily run into while walking or riding a bicycle. His work, which actively interprets what stays in his mind without focusing on a specific classification, shows shapes and colors that seem to have been seen somewhere, atypical forms and compositions, and uses unmixed primary colors to create a very strong impression. The nature on a canvas, which can be perceived as abstract in its simple form, can be said to be the accumulation and expression of his own form of nature in which the place and the time where he experienced the scenery, and the way he understood his existence in front of nature and held nature in his mind. Jang graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at Changwon National University and participated in many group exhibitions at home and abroad, including the N Artist Exhibition at the Gyeongnam Museum of Art (2016) and the Changwon Sculpture Biennale (2018).
