Chaeyeon Kang (b.1999) translates bodily experiences into layered images and material surfaces, exploring the unstable relationship between the body, memory, and digitally mediated images. 

Working across printmaking, painting, biomaterials, and expanded media, her practice examines cyclical experiences of the female body, including illness, hormonal change, vulnerability, decay, and renewal. Drawing from medical imagery, organic textures, and personal bodily experiences, she creates tactile surfaces that evoke skin, tissue, residue, and fragile landscapes. Her work juxtaposes organic and biodegradable materials with images of smooth digital femininity, revealing the tension between the vulnerable body and the idealized, endlessly reproduced body within virtual spaces. Through layering, staining, repetition, and material transformation, she reimagines the body as a shifting landscape where the physical and the digital, intimacy and distance, continuously intersect and overlap. 

Chaeyeon is a Seoul and London based artist. She holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art and a BFA in Fine Art from the Korea National University of Arts.
