Soo Young Chung (1987-) captures daily scenes on canvas. The subjects of her work include cups and vitamins on a dining table and piles of clothes in a laundry basket. For the artist, 'everyday life' is ordinary yet significant, and both deeply personal and universally meaningful. Objects exist as nothing in themselves while simultaneously functioning and reflecting individual or societal perspectives. Thus, for him, objects act as a form of 'language'.
Soo Young Chung was born in 1987 and received her Bachelor's (2012) and Master's (2014) degrees in Painting from Ewha Womans University. In 2018, she graduated from the Royal College of Art in the UK with a Master's degree. Since 2014, she has held over 10 group and solo exhibitions internationally.
