Opening of the Exhibition Seungyeon Jo "Strike Against Myself"

Introduction: Natalie de Ligt, Director of Kunst Galerie Fürth The artist will be present. Packed tight rooms, distorted bodies, limbs filling the picture space, and enigmatic apparatuses paired with surreal elements shape the images and drawings of Seungyeon Jo (*1994, Seoul, South Korea). The starting point is her personal life radius, which becomes a reflection of societal mechanisms in her works, and which the artist outlines with an observing and empathetic gaze. The focus here is on dealing with everyday experiences, cultural breaks, and identity, which are constantly present for the artist as an Asian woman and migrant. In her narrative images, the artist opens up a multifaceted surreal panorama.
