Song Jeong
Song-Jeong Jang Myung-sun is a literati painter whose work seeks to convey profound meaning through a deeply poetic sensibility and instinctive, expressive brushwork.
Her artistic process is guided by spontaneity—each brushstroke is unplanned, and once committed to paper, cannot be undone. In this way, she captures the fleeting, irreversible moments of life, where the weight of a single gesture carries both presence and permanence. Her work becomes a meditation on time, memory, and existence itself, where every line offers a moment of reflection.
"An unknown space, where infinity resides.
The moment ink meets paper, a path unfolds, and a world is born.
The artist’s brush passes only once.
Like life itself, it does not waver, turn back, or repeat.
Where it has passed, time lingers, and choice becomes destiny.
The flowing stroke, the silence beside it—
they push and pull, shaping an infinite space.
Emptiness is not absence.
It is unseen possibility, a resonance within silence.
Where the brush does not touch, time lingers, and breath flows.
There, space is not a fixed form,
but zìrán,
opening with the gaze, and being reborn in perception.
This exhibition, Infinite Space,
is a meditation on the path left behind and the silence that remains.
A place where emptiness holds fullness,
and stillness reveals motion.
Now, it is time to step into the infinite space and reflect upon yourself."
At its core, her practice is a balance between expression and introspection. Through her paintings, she contemplates the interwoven nature of past, present, and future, treating time not as a linear sequence, but as a continuous and living thread.
Firmly grounded in the tradition of literati painting—with its emphasis on scholarly depth, subtlety, and personal resonance—Song-Jeong brings this heritage into dialogue with the modern world. Her aspiration is not only to preserve its spirit, but to allow it to evolve, to breathe, and to harmonise with the emotional and philosophical concerns of our time.
In doing so, her work offers a space for quiet engagement—inviting viewers to pause, observe, and perhaps find their own reflections mirrored in the ink.
