Minwook Jin obtained MFA degree from CAFA in Beijing in 2009 and was graduated with BFA and Ph.D degree in Korean painting from Ewha woman’s university, Seoul.

Jin’s idea of ‘Sang-chun’ means the artist’s own journey to find the visual expression about the literature. Literally speaking, ‘Sang-chun’ means ‘everlasting spring,’ and she got this idea from various expressions such as ‘paradise(樂園)’ and ‘evergreen(常綠),’ which are particularly used for describing the beautiful landscape in the traditional literature. Nakwonkyeong depicts the hideaway in the mountains or the imaginary place like ‘Gugogdo’ and ‘Muleungdowondo;’ however the artist finds the sense of paradise from a small nature in our daily life.
Focusing on the value of small things, the artist presents the landscape in her recent painting ’Sosokyeong,’ that she has been observing from various perspectives while walking slowly and also various natural objects against the law of perspective. Inspired by photographs, drawings, recorded sounds, and various regional materials, Jin paints the empirical reality rather than simply painting what she physically sees and delivers the immersive senses to viewers.
Minwook Jin observes the city in our times from the viewpoint of a traditional landscape and delivers us the true meaning of nature and its value through it. Furthermore, she suggests a different way of looking at ordinary objects from a new perspective.
She recently lives and works in Seoul.
