Jungwon Jay Hur is a multidisciplinary artist from Seoul, South Korea who currently lives and works in London, U.K. She received her BA Fine Art: Painting from Wimbledon College of Arts in 2019 and finished her MFA Fine Art: Painting at the Slade School of Fine Arts in 2022. She believes in the collaboration of materials – be it painting, printmaking, or ceramics – and their inter-being within her practice which is influenced by various intercultural productions. Often the awakening of emotions and unfolding of stories/tales are the starting point of her work and she carries this phenomenon during the process of creation – it acts as a catalyst which activates the passive, immaterial elements and gives them a visual, tangible form. Recent and upcoming exhibitions include Flee as a bird to your mountain，Hive Center for Contemporary Art，China (2024), The Future of Loneliness, Guts Gallery, London (2024), Group show, Slugtown, London (2024), Vessels, Cabin, Berlin (2024), Voyager I, Hive Center for Contemporary Art, Shanghai (2023), A Woman from the Bird Egg, Incubator, London (2023), Contemporary Voices, Plataforma2 Gallery, Barcelona (2022), Why Don’t You Dance?, ASC Gallery, London (2022), and Hearth, Lokal, Helsinki (2021).
