Celebrate the beauty of spring at the Cherry Hill Public Library’s May art gallery exhibition featuring Korean-American artist, Taesook Jung.
With so much beauty and life in nature, Jung focused on the peony for this exhibition. She took inspiration from its color, color, form, texture and vividness. All of her works are acrylic on canvas.
“I focused on the soothing qualities, the colors, and the grandeur blossom as a whole,” noted Jung about the subject of her work. “I feel a strong energy from the peony’s appearance and I want to share this experience with the viewer,” noted the artist.
Jung was born in South Korea and received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine art from Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea. Jung has deep knowledge of art history and Asian philosophy and incorporates both ancient and modern styles into her art.
Jung holds an art teacher certification in Korea. During her time in Korea, she lectured at Daegu Arts University and was also a curator, participating in a number of environmental art projects. She moved to the U.S. in 1999 and currently leads an art institution, Around Art at Cherry Hill. Her works have been exhibited in Korea and the United States.
Jung’s exhibition will be on display through June 4.
