Jeheon Shin

Shin Je Heon (b. South Korea) is a sculptor whose practice investigates the concept of the affective body—a body shaped by entangled emotions, inner imagery, and perceptual experience. His research explores the “inner eye” (siman) as a site where unconscious sensations, memory, and emotion are translated into form. Moving beyond anatomical representation, Shin constructs fragmented and interwoven bodily structures that embody psychological states and relational tensions.

​

His work emphasizes visual tactility, engaging the viewer not only through form but also through the suggestion of touch, weight, and material resistance. Through processes such as molding, layering, and distortion, he creates sculptural surfaces that register traces of action and emotional intensity. His recent works move toward greater abstraction and symbolic reduction, emphasizing curved, simplified masses that retain a sense of organic ambiguity. Through this process, the body becomes less a representation and more a condition: a vessel of accumulated sensations, suspended between visibility and invisibility, presence and dissolution.
