Baert Gallery is delighted to announce the representation of London based artist Ji Won Cha (b. 1997, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea). Cha's paintings focus on re-articulating the sublime in the 21st century. This re-articulation concentrates on what evokes the feeling of sublimity and finds a way to process these complex emotions of uncertainties that hold a place both in our personal lives and in a bigger construction of society. Emphasizing the circumstances of “unknown” and of “loss of control”, her paintings are dedicated to capturing the contradicting feelings of hope and despair, constantly questioning the existence of fate.
Ji Won Cha (b. 1997, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) lives and works in London. She earned her BFA in Painting from RISD and her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art. Recent exhibitions include An Eternity from Now, Baert Gallery, Los Angeles (2024); Memory Concourse, Thierry Goldberg Gallery, NYC (2024); Transcendence, Gate 45, Dubai, UAE (2023); Now Introducing, Studio West Gallery, London, UK (2023); Summer Fling, L.U.P.O.-Lorenzelli Projects, Milan, Italy (2023), and the two-person show Dungeons and Daydreams with Alya Hatta at Wilder Gallery, London (2023).
