Workplace is pleased to present Summer Remains, a solo exhibition of new paintings by London based artist Sooim Jeong. The artist’s first exhibition at Workplace since joining the gallery earlier this year, continues Jeong’s exploration of perceived reality and personal memory.

The artist’s practice draws upon a wide spectrum of experiences, from the profound weight of tragic loss to mundane and seemingly trivial interactions with strangers. With a restrained and sensitive colour palette and minimal calligraphic brushstrokes, she constructs playful compositions. Jeong’s approach is informed learning traditional calligraphy as a teenager in Korea. Bringing together disparate fragments of scattered past and more recent memories, Jeong recomposes these into images within the confined space of the canvas.
