Chiyong Won

ChiYong Won is a Korean painter based in Seoul who spent his formative years in France.
His recent paintings bring together familiar figures, objects, and places in unexpected encounters, where subtle tensions and unseen connections emerge.
Moving between the ordinary and the improbable, these works take on a life of their own, inviting interpretations that remain open and unpredictable.
