Jeong Woojae

Korean artist, Jeong Woojae invites us to experience a surreal situation, where a young girl’s constant companion is a tropical fish. She goes about her everyday life against a backdrop...

The Albemarle Gallery is delighted to present an exhibition of works by three distinctive South Korean artists at Art Moorhouse. JHI, Jeong Woojae and Park Jieun are masters in their particular craft, each approaching the process of painting through their own entirely unique practice.

South Korean painter, Jeong Woojae's subject is a particular, surreal relationship: he makes pictures of a girl and her gigantic dog. These are photo-realistic paintings of the pair acting out scenarios of companionship in a contemporary, urban landscape. The compositions evoke disparate themes of isolation, protection and mutuality.
