JUNHYEOK JANG (SOUTH KOREA)
Junhyeok Jang is a South Korean artist based in Seoul who creates multi-layered graphic and photographic works exploring the intersection of nature and memory. Working at the boundary between analog and digital, Jang transforms everyday moments captured on film into striking visual compositions that address environmental awareness and collective nostalgia.
Jang’s process begins with his film camera. “I capture everyday moments and later extract fragments from these images to reinterpret as visual graphics,” he explains. Through careful splicing and reassembly, he transforms photographs of natural landscapes into animal silhouettes—melting snow becomes a polar bear, reed fields reveal tigers, waves take the form of flying fish. These fragmented textures and photographic materials act as “visual translations to encourage viewers to reflect on both the fragility of nature and the persistence of memory.”
His work exists as a corridor connecting two mediums—photography and graphic design—while bridging the natural and digital worlds. By reframing the ordinary, Jang opens the door to new meanings and associations. His reinterpretations repurpose the old as new, producing compositions with depth and sharpness that are more than pixelated experiments. “My aim is to create work that resonates with people through shared experiences, while delivering subtle but essential messages about the environment,” Jang says.
