Boyoung Jung (Gwangju, b.1978) is a Korean artist whose practice focuses on the philosophical dimensions of time, repetition, and natural cycles. Through ink on mulberry Hanji paper, collage, and textiles, Jung's work reflects on temporal experience, memory, and the continuous flow of lived existence. Her meditative compositions, arising from sustained observation of natural processes, are expressed through repetitive mark-making and the layering of various materials and techniques.

Jung employs traditional Korean materials—mulberry Hanji paper and oriental ink—alongside contemporary collage and textile methods in her process. This approach, often presented through circular forms and fragmented compositions, creates intersections between natural rhythms and philosophical inquiry. Jung seeks to investigate the connection between Eastern philosophy and Western conceptual frameworks. Her engagement with thinkers like Henri Bergson and Gilles Deleuze plays a crucial role in her process, comparing the repetitive structures found in nature to the philosophical concepts of durée and difference. Between materiality, temporality, and philosophy, she investigates various forms of becoming, understanding, and transformation.

Jung's visual language is rooted in traditional Korean aesthetics, exploring the unwritten rhythms of natural time. Her tree-based sculptures, created over more than a decade starting in 2006, employed hundreds of bark fragments assembled through meditative processes that blur the boundaries between artificial and natural forms. This sustained engagement cultivated an intuitive understanding of trees as living entities embodying cycles of repetition and transformation.

"In these spaces between repeats, I encounter how we, like trees, exist within frames we cannot escape: time, space, matter, and our histories. Yet within these constraints lies the possibility for infinite variation and becoming." – Boyoung Jung

Jung has investigated textile works, such as her Korean Compositions series, which reinterprets contemporary Korean apartment floor plans as abstract colour compositions by employing traditional Jogakbo patchwork and Obangsaek's five main colours. Included in the permanent collection of M+ Museum, Hong Kong, these works examine spatial and cultural transformations of modern Korean society.

Throughout her practice, Jung has maintained sculptural collaborations with Belgian artist Emmanuel Wolfs under the WOLFS+JUNG label, exploring philosophical concerns through different material and cultural contexts across Europe, China, and Korea.

Boyoung Jung lives and works in Seoul, South Korea.
