Jisoo Kang’s recent work explores subtle shifts in memory and emotion through imagined botanical forms. Blending traditional painting with drawing-based processes, she creates internal landscapes that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. During her residency at Atelier Circulaire, she has expanded her practice by exploring intaglio techniques such as etching and aquatint. These methods offer a new way to translate the delicate gestures of drawing into a tactile, meditative experience.
Hyesung Jung lives and works between Gwangju (South Korea) and Mulhouse (France). She holds art degrees from Chosun University in South Korea and the Haute école des arts du Rhin (HEAR) in France. Her artistic practice focuses on the visual image as a space of transition, where the visible and invisible, presence and absence, confront each other. She is interested in the transformations that emerge in these blurred, unstable zones. During her residency at Atelier Circulaire, she explores the link between text and paper, reinterpreting the traditional concept of printed text. Through typography, she examines how the notion of liminality can take shape in a material, physical gesture.
