Hejum BäAn Uplifting Painting, 2024

About the artist

Hejum Bä was born in Seoul in 1987. She currently lives and works in Seoul. Hejum Bä’s understanding of contemporary communication – from both verbal and non-verbal language to the complex codes we navigate in everyday interactions – deeply influences her artistic practice. Her abstract, colorful works offer a layered depiction of the actions we perform when engaging with our phones, such as “swiping” and “tapping,” moving beyond pure emotion or intuition. In her paintings, Hejum Bä examines the complex relationships between visual elements, particularly the interaction of surface and background, color and line. Hejum Bä holds a degree in Painting and Printmaking from Ewha Womans University in Seoul and continued her studies at the State Academy of Art and Design in Stuttgart. She is currently participating in a practice-based research program at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany.
