My Heritage is My Vulnerability

exhibition
The Korean artist Stella Sujin questions the imagery too easily associated with the idea of femininity, such as flowers, vulvas, portraits with vermilion lips, which shape a hieratic vision of women. To counter and distort this deeply rooted formalism, Sujin introduces a form of non-homogeneous monstrosity, strongly inspired by the notion of abjection by philosopher Julia Kristeva, which she strongly claims. The artist enhances her own iconography with a highly doped palette, using disconcerting images that push viewers to reflect on their own limits and reactions. For about ten years, her work has been regularly exhibited in France, as well as abroad in countries such as China, Norway, the United States, and Greece.
Good to know
The artist has benefited from several residences throughout her career, including at Villa Belleville and the Artist Residence of the City of Ajaccio. Her works are present in many collections, including the Zabludowicz collection in London and the Art Museum of Daejeon in South Korea. Stella Sujin was nominated for the Drawing Now Prize in 2023.
