ERIN CHON



Erin Chon/Hours


“ I log the quantity of time in the drawing. Life is sustained only for a limited period of time. My interest is to record this kind of time, life-ridden but limited. In a daily life, time is segmented. Each segmentation has a different length. What I do, what I think, and what I feel are replaced with the empty-minded length of marks, in the same way as the landscapes are transformed to repeated pencil lines in the Agnes Martin’s drawings. I begin with a dot, and repeat dots. A dot, drawn with dark graphite or oil paint, marks a ‘moment’ on the paper. By repeating dots, the moments grow into an ‘occasion.’ The occasion, accumulation of moments, is finally reborn as a metaphorical entity. The impulse for tracing, recording, and marking moments is inescapable.


So I draw.”


Erin Chon(전이린) is a painter/drawer who has worked individually and collaboratively on the current issues of identity, gender, domesticity, and immigration, using symbolic images, marks, and texts in daily life. Currently she expands her interests into process-based projects, that record daily existence of herself. By repeating dots and lines, the most basic elements of art, she transforms invisible concepts of time into perceptible images of drawing.

She has taken part in many solo and group exhibitions both in S. Korea and in the United States.
