Jin Jeong: An Introduction

Los Angeles, CA: albertz benda is delighted to present Jin Jeong: An Introduction from April 17 to May 23, 2025. This introductory presentation offers a glimpse into Jeong’s practice ahead of her first solo exhibition with the gallery in New York.

Breathing is an integral element in my work. The natural landscape is very important to me, and I try to capture the sensations I feel when breathing in nature. I remember the feeling of airflow as I breathe in and out in a specific environment. Even at the same time in winter, the air and color of light in the desert of the West Coast are different from the forests of Upstate New York. The breath in the desert feels expansive and rounded, while the light is tinted orange and pink. In the forest, the breath feels crisp and the light is more blue and turquoise. 

My observations in nature focus on transformation, such as in changing seasons or in light and shadow. I try to remember as much as possible about specific time differences, such as how the sun changes, how the colors change, and how the depth of shadows evolves. I don’t try to replicate images of a landscape from photos. I remember and interpret the landscape and my physical experience into abstraction.
