About the Item
"Mija Jung's Embodied Abstractions showcase dynamic, layered works that explore the physicality and materiality of painting through vibrant compositions and intuitive gestures."
Maja Jung
Butterfly
2022
Acrylic on canvas
20 x 16 inches
Mija Jung’s work embodies the convergence of ritual, abstraction, and identity, seamlessly weaving together influences from Korean spirituality, contemporary art practices, and her experiences in the cultural hubs of Berlin and New York. Her paintings are dynamic, layered explorations of human emotion, where the act of painting itself becomes a form of practice—a bridge between the material and the transcendent. This transformative quality also speaks to a process of rehumanization, where Jung’s art reasserts the emotional, spiritual, and corporeal dimensions of human experience in an increasingly fragmented and automated world.
Painter, Mija Jung lives in New York. Her education began at Hong Kong University and later at Rutgers University. After experimenting with digital manipulation, she returned to painting. She interviews people connected to her historical background to research her future gender identity politics. She shows her work internationally in numerous gallery exhibitions such as New York Arts Center, Robert Miller Gallery, Socrates Sculpture Park, Brian Leo Gallery, Hyundai Gallery, Seoul; Kwanhoon Gallery, Atelierhof Kreuzberg, Galerie Nord, Berlin; Galerie ARTQ13, Rome, to name a few. She is a recipient of the Ellis Elizabeth Scholarship, United States, as well as MBC Grand Art Award Korea.
