Soojung Jung is a Seoul-based painter. Drawing on fragments from myth, popular culture, and historical imagery, she summons hybrid figures and clustered forms that blur the boundaries between figure and ground, narrative and pattern.
In her recent work, Jung has focused less on what is being said than on the precise orchestration of atmosphere, density, and direction, concentrating instead on “painting that operates” by calibrating the viewer’s gaze and breathing. The clustered formations and nonhuman signs that traverse the canvas do not function as statements of emotion, but as structures of sensation, allowing viewers to construct their own hierarchy of meaning through the choice of what to see first and what to postpone. In an age of image excess, Jung’s paintings question the force of images that continue to endure with ambivalence and hesitation held in suspension, while probing the sensory and political conditions of the present.
Soojung Jung (b.1990, Seoul, KR) is an artist based in Seoul. She received her BFA from Gachon University and her MFA from The Glasgow School of Art. Her major solo exhibitions include <White Sneakers: Death is Fine, But Then There Is No Love> at Kumho Museum of Art, Seoul (2026),

Noah El Hachem is a painter based in Düsseldorf, Germany. His work centers on side-facing profiles, recurring objects, and the empty spaces around them, approaching form not simply as something that comes into view, but as something held by structure.
In his paintings, objects and figures are not placed naturally within a scene; they appear as elements designed for the pictorial field itself. Forms do not grow or unfold freely, but remain on the surface as cut, fixed, and deliberately positioned components. Each painting is built through repeated sessions and periods of drying, with layers that remain adjacent without resolving into a single scene or shared time. His work draws attention less to what an image depicts than to how time and matter settle on the surface and become legible.

Heemin Son makes sculptures that ask how ordinary, manufactured materials come to resemble traces of life—and how, once documented and displayed, that resemblance hardens into fact.
Her subjects have ranged from animal deaths and mass die-offs to shells and outer casings, microorganisms and ancient marine life. Out of these he has developed the idea of the “future fossil”: the present, with its materials and technologies, left behind as something to be excavated later. Resin and plaster bandage, mushrooms and PVC hose are combined until organic remains and industrial matter, the natural and the artificial, become indistinguishable. Casting, layering, coating and sanding leave behind what survives the loss of an original: likeness and error, shell and hollow, the feel of a surface. In recent work he has brought in AI-generated images, invented labels, coordinates and records to look at how knowledge of living things takes shape between taxonomy and folklore, image and belief. Son’s sculptures do more than imagine creatures that never existed. In a time when life is first met as image and data, they ask what counts as fact, what gets accepted as living, and what is finally left to mourn.
