about Jiwon Chloe Han

Born in 2003 in Gwangju, South Korea, Jiwon Chloe Han is an artist whose practice weaves traditional Korean aesthetics with contemporary emotional expression. Working across painting, poetry, and installation, she creates work that lingers on themes of memory, stillness, and longing.

Nostalgia lies at the center of Han’s artistic vision. Her pieces often evoke quiet, intimate moments that reflect both personal and cultural histories. By pairing her visual work with written texts (poems and essays), she builds layered narratives that invite reflection and emotional resonance. Each work becomes a site of encounter, where image and language together hold space for absence, return, and recognition.

Drawing inspiration from Korean philosophies of simplicity, repetition, and inwardness, Han reinterprets tradition through a present-day lens. Her art does not seek resolution but instead opens a space where memory breathes and feelings unfold gently. Through this, she invites viewers to witness not only her own reflections, but their own.
