Fabric Drawing #89

Curator's Eye

Daun Jeong blurs the lines between the second and third dimensions in her work. Rejecting traditional modes of drawing and painting onto canvas, her so-called ‘fabric drawings’ utilise textiles as a painterly medium to contrast flatness and spatial depth, whilst simultaneously emphasizing the tangibility of her materials. A variety of patterned and block colour textiles are stretched to the edges of the canvas, visually conveying the tension and energy held within - lending these works a unique sense of immediacy. The artist has a strong CV of exhibitions in Korea, including museum shows and major commissions, and is now very much on the cusp of a moment of international breakout.
