In this large-format work, Hwajung condenses countless layers of watercolor and ink on Korean paper into a complex network of colors and forms. The title suggests an exploration of the inner self, the hidden, and those parts of identity that often remain closed off to the outside world—a central theme in Hwajung's work as a queer artist.

June Hwajung

June (Hwajung Kim), born in 1991 in South Korea, is currently studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Daniel Richter. His work is strongly influenced by his identity as an Asian, non-native speaker, and queer man navigating European culture. Through performance, installation, and painting, June explores the complexity of human duality and examines how desire and emotions manifest in intimate spaces.

In his paintings, June depicts transparent, intertwined figures with ambivalent forms that reflect the uncertainty and fluidity of human relationships. He captures moments of intense emotional expressiveness—in beds, at protest rallies, or in dark rooms—in which raw longings and vulnerabilities are revealed. These intense collisions of emotion and physicality question the validity of societal ideals and personal realities, challenging viewers to grapple with the fragile boundaries between connection and alienation.
