Claire Chey

Claire Chey (Won Jeong Chey - read as one-juh-ng- chei) uses oil paint to depict human flesh and bodies in different contexts. Through nuanced gestures and application of paint, she renders and abstracts bodies between seemingly conflicting states, such as in pleasure and pain, retaining agency and becoming a receptacle, fluidity and boundedness, and reality and fantasy. Her interests and intentions lie in dissecting the intricacies of one’s social realities and their internal worlds affected by reality.
