My current works are my diary. I keep recording my narratives with the abstract visual language, so it's a series of my three years in New York City.

About the Artist

Ahn BK Studio 01

Hyun Jung Ahn (b.1986) is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist, from Seoul, South Korea. Through her work, she investigates enigmatic abstract forms which she references as “shapes of mind”. She begins by drawing from her visual diary which captures feelings, personal connections and emotional states of being. She then translates these notions into minimalistic drawing, painting and sculpture.
