Exhibitions 《Here and There》, 2025.03.20 – 2025.04.30, Galerie Lelong & Co. (Paris) "I dream a lot" says Hyunsun Jeon. In her paintings, she tries to capture the diffuse feelings that persist when you wake up, when what remains of your dreams are impressions, colours and hybrid shapes – impossible syntheses of real memories. But Jeon's painting, however dreamlike, is above all driven by a concrete quest: what is an image, what is representation ?

Articles [Critique] Cubical Sense Unfolding on a Flat Surface Heejoon Lee’s works are undoubtedly received as geometric abstract paintings, but after a while, the impression of colors and forms reaches to the specific object, architecture, and urban or natural scenery.

Three Featured Female Painters
Articles Artist Jaeyeon Yoo: “Night Landscapes” Where Reality and Fantasy Coexist
Jaeyeon Yoo (b. 1988) constructs landscapes in which reality and fantasy coexist, emerging from contemplations of the night. She unravels both major and minor events encountered in daily life—along with the personal imagination and reflections that arise from them—by focusing on the time and space of “night.”
Articles Artist Chansong Kim: Capturing the Fleeting Moment When Boundaries Collapse
Chansong Kim (b. 1988) focuses on fleeting moments when the solidity of existence blurs and becomes fluid. In particular, she has long contemplated the “body,” paying close attention to instances when her once-familiar body suddenly feels unfamiliar and is perceived as a material presence.
Articles Artist Minyoung Choi’s Surreal World Where Reality and Dreams Coexist
Minyoung Choi (b. 1989) paints scenes that exist between reality and unreality. Filled with imaginative energy, her paintings embody the artist’s personal experiences and the unconscious world that emerges from them. Heterogeneous elements—such as past and present, nature and artificial objects, reality and dreams—are edited into multilayered structures that transcend time and space within her canvases, where they are rendered in her distinctive light and color to form an unfamiliar harmony.
