Yva Jung United Kingdom
Yva Jung is a visual artist based in London and Hertfordshire.
Jung’s work begins with a particular way of observing the external world. Often the slightly skewed observations of everyday situations are based upon placing herself in an unfamiliar environment or a particular place. She works mainly with installation, moving image, digital print, drawing, and improvised encounters, and her practice is an ongoing, reflective dialogue with daily experiences and everyday objects that Jung subverts to add stories to.
Jung studied Fine Art in Seoul and New York before receiving her practice-led PhD from Slade School of Fine Art, London in 2016. She has been awarded many grants including from Arts Council England and the Arts Council Korea. She has undertaken numerous artist residencies including the Arctic Circle Residency. Jung’s work has been exhibited in various contemporary art institutions globally such as Coventry Biennial (UK), CAFAM Biennale (China), Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival (UK), Sangsangmadang Gallery (South Korea) and Soho20 Gallery (USA).
