The advancement of technology in the modern world has brought about a revolutionary shift in the way people form human relationships. Through the power of technology, people now have the incredible ability to connect with others regardless of time zones and geographical boundaries. They can peer into someone‘s life and experiences without the need for face-to-face interaction. This has not only broadened our social connections but has also invigorated the realms of culture and art. 
 
Jiyoon Jeong’s artwork presents a unique visual language that stems from the superficial relationships found within web-based images, beckoning viewers to embark on an exploration of the underlying human connections. Through her solo exhibition, ”𝘼𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙘𝙮,“ held at The Stroll gallery, she explores the notion of intimacy in today‘s digital age. By reflecting on the core of human connections through her artistic expression, viewers are encouraged to envision the vast array of possibilities that await us in terms of communication and interpersonal bonds. 

Jiyoon Jeong, based in South Korea, presents artwork that embodies the sensory characteristics of found images collected from the web, rendered in a monotone style. While representing traditional genres of painting, Jeong seeks to transcend conventional interpretations by incorporating image distortions to achieve an abstract quality.
