Hyun JEUNG’s woodblock prints invite us into a world where nature and memory intertwine. Her works capture the fleeting beauty of flowers, wind-swept grasses, expansive mountains, and bountiful seas. Through delicate lines and subtle colour gradations, she explores themes of impermanence, movement, and contemplation.
The Arbre series of mini woodblock prints has been incredibly popular. Placed at the gallery entrance, facing the front door, these small yet striking pieces (10cm x 10cm) depict natural forms, printed in beautifully complementary colours. Serenity and subtlety are the two words that best describe this collection.
Champs de Coquelicots, the centrepiece of this exhibition, has enchanted visitors with its remarkable ability to evoke the tranquility of a poppy field—just as its title suggests. A true one-of-a-kind masterpiece, this work captures the essence of nature’s quiet beauty; invoking feelings of happiness and isolation it continues to draw admiration from all who see it.
Hyun has exhibited her work in Paris, London, New York, Seoul, Osaka, and Carthage. Her prints are held in private collections worldwide, as well as in several public collections, including the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the Tunisian Ministry of Culture, the Asian Arts Museum of Toulon, the Museum of Drawings and Original Prints of Gravelines, and the Cernuschi Museum – the Museum of Asian Arts of Paris.
