Born in New Jersey, USA, Kyung Jeon's work attempts to make traditional female roles a site of contestation. Frustrated with the image of the sterotypical Korean woman, Jeon's illustrations are a literal translation of body politics: making the body both the canvas and the context. Drawing on Korean folk painting, soap operas, selfies and feminine icons, the artist subverts these symbols by recasting them as powerful, and often violent images of female agency. Her whimsical and erotic drawings then take on a contemporary politics where objectification becomes a tool for social dissonance.
