Seoul City

Summer Breeze an Abstract Diary that captures the essence of a summer coastal city, where the humid tropical breeze melts into the air. No matter how far away I am, the space where most of my works are completed and the place that occupies the largest image in my perception is Seoul, the city where I was born and raised, so the abstract image of the city I complete always naturally permeates the scent and color of Seoul. Creating this Abstract Diary is my way of recording a day and a fleeting moment, and no amount of detailed words or beautifully written prose can effectively convey the emotions of that day. As a work of art, it is the essence of the moment, and a recording of emotion and space.

[Joy Jo]

Ahyoung Jo (aka Joy Jo) is an artist whose large-scale works delve into the unknown borders of cities, the world, and the universe beyond. To explore the edge between reality and subjectivity, her artistic approach revolves around creating abstract expressions, which attempt to capture these inner worlds and make them visible. Having spent extended periods in London and Germany, Joy Jos artistic journey is equally influenced by the cities she has spent time in as the philosophy she has consumed. Among her explorations, Joy Jos Abstract Diary series stands out as a prominent work. Comprising digital artworks of drawings incorporated into photographs, Joy Jo chronicles the places she has visited and transforms them into impressive cityscapes whose methods and appearances are inseparable from her inner emotions and interpretations of them at the time. In doing so, her Abstract Diary series both records and expresses the inner imagery and emotions of herself as well the cities she has been to, transcending the limitations of concrete words and images. The difference between tiny corners and vast chasms are not so different after all. To the human eye, they are both nearly incomprehensible, as is our emotions.
 
To date, Joy Jo has actively participated in over 5 solo and group exhibitions in South Korea, Australia, the U.K, and Germany.
