Shaping the Boundaries of Sensation: Jung Yeonjae Solo Exhibition 'Sensory Divide'

Exploring the Structure of Perception within the Coexistence of Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Forms
Until February 28 at Hyundai Department Store Trade Center, 8th Floor

The solo exhibition 'Sensory Divide' by artist Jung Yeonjae, who sculpturally explores the separation and intersection of the senses, will be held at H.art LAB 89 on the 8th floor of Hyundai Department Store Trade Center Branch until February 28. Through this exhibition, Head-B Gallery visually unpacks the boundaries of the senses and the frameworks of perception within a structure where two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms coexist.

This exhibition, 'Sensory Divide', visually investigates how the boundaries of the senses are formed and divided, based on a sculptural language where repetition and transformation intersect. The artist introduces intentional deviations and variations within repetitive forms, revealing unfamiliar sensations latent within familiar order and prompting viewers to reconsider their perceptions. This visual duality continues the artist's sculptural language that constructs the structure of sensation.

For Jung Yeonjae, 'contrast' is not simply a concept of opposition or conflict. Rather, it is closer to a structure of perception and a framework of thought in which different sensory orders coexist within a single visual plane. Contrasting elements-such as Eastern and Western cultures and languages, light and shadow, materiality and immateriality-form both tension and balance through juxtaposition and layering. Through these combinations of contrast, the artist abstractly reorganizes everyday phenomena and visualizes the gaps and flows that arise in between.

The work unfolds by establishing a visual order and then destabilizing the balance and readjusting boundaries within it. Centered on two-dimensional painting, this exhibition forms new visual relationships through the tension between separation and connection of the senses, and between form and space, revealing the artist’s perspective on boundaries.

'Sensory Divide' invites viewers to reconsider the layers of sensation and perception, and can be seen as an exhibition that demonstrates how contemporary visual art can conceptually and sculpturally reflect on the idea of 'boundaries'.
