-----------------------------
NARS Foundation in pleased to present Hovering by Jean Oh. Hovering presents a series of paintings which focus on the sensitive state of inescapable constant disturbance.
A repetitive introduction of disturbance to the constant state of mind thus becomes the norm, changing the initial state into disturbance itself. This represents our reality, a state in which we are made to suffer by forcing ourselves to fit into social norms.
Jean Oh’s paintings act as a constant reminder and a reflection of this instability by presenting minor disturbances through the juxtaposition of the off-balanced composition with detailed delicacy.
Jean Oh holds a BFA from MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) and an MFA from Pratt Institute. Oh has been featured in Saatchi Art'’ Rising Stars Report 2019.
