Jeong Hur is a Seoul-born, Brooklyn-based artist whose practice explores perception, memory, and the way images mediate our understanding of reality. With roots in both analog and digital image-making—ranging from darkroom photography and digital collage to AI-generated imagery and photo-based sculpture—his earlier works traced how memories shift across media and time.
In his current work, Hur constructs slender wooden frames layered with translucent hanji paper, forming structures that resemble windows—yet resist clarity. Inspired by both Western glass panes and the soft partitions of traditional Korean hanji screens, these pieces examine how boundaries shape what we see, what remains hidden, and what we imagine in between. Hands often appear, sculpted or implied, reaching toward or retreating from the frame—hinting at the human desire to touch what lies just beyond.
Hur earned his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and has exhibited internationally across the US, France, Germany, China, Japan, and Korea. His work continues to provoke questions about what it means to look, to remember, and to inhabit the blurred space between presence and absence.
