Showing the works of Jang Sooji are collaborated with GALLERY JIB. 
Born in Seoul, lives and works in South Korea.
She paints and draws many distinctive figure images with unique personal and social themes.
She explains that her portrait represent the act of identifying people, who are anxious and lonely. At the same time it reminds hope to connect with the innocence and purity from childhood, which is believed to be intrinsic to every person.
Jang paints in thin layers on jangji so that colour sits within the paper and the image reads gentle and steady. The works place beauty and a small tension in the same frame and guide that tension towards calm. Very fine lines—notably in the hair—catch light and give a quiet sense of life. Flowers and small patterned motifs appear as signs of care, not as display.
