作品初識|由水墨走向複合媒材

鄭真蓉的創作由韓國傳統水墨出發,逐步發展為融合水墨、壓克力、金粉與玻璃珠的多媒材語彙。畫面常以層疊、覆蓋與模糊化的方式生成,在反覆鋪陳之中形成一種既帶記憶感、又帶時間性的觀看經驗。
Jeong Jin-Yong’s practice began with the tradition of Korean ink painting and evolved into a mixed-media language combining ink, acrylic, gold powder, and fine glass beads. Through layering, repetition, and veiling, his paintings produce an experience of memory, duration, and deja vu.

畫面結構|光澤、覆寫與空間感

鄭真蓉的作品質地鮮明,卻不以表面的華麗為目的。金粉與玻璃珠的加入,使畫面在光線下產生細微而持續變化的閃爍感;那不是單純裝飾性的效果,而是一種關於時間與觀看的結構。當觀者移動,畫面的亮點也跟著改變,空間因而被重新感知。

The surfaces of Jeong Jin-Yong’s works are richly textured, yet never merely decorative. Gold powder and glass beads introduce a shifting radiance that changes with light and movement. Rather than embellishment, this luminosity becomes a structure of looking—one that makes time and space perceptible on the surface of the painting.

他的構圖常帶有三段式鋪陳的節奏,並透過反覆繪畫、覆蓋與擦除,使形象逐漸變得若即若離。這種模糊並不是削弱主體,而是讓圖像從再現轉向感受,從明確的對象轉為一種情緒、氣氛與內在經驗的承載體。

Many of his compositions unfold in stratified bands. Through repeated painting, covering, and partial erasure, forms become suspended between appearance and disappearance. This blur does not diminish the image; rather, it shifts painting away from direct representation and toward mood, atmosphere, and interior experience.

在這樣的語境中,鄭真蓉所營造的既視感,並非來自對熟悉場景的直接再現,而是來自觀看者心理深處的喚起。那些城市、建築、遺跡或場景的輪廓,像是記憶中反覆浮現的片段,在層與層之間留下時間沉積的痕跡,也讓作品具有外在現實與內在感知並行的特質。

The deja vu his paintings evoke does not arise from literal depiction alone, but from a deeper psychological recognition. Urban sites, monuments, and vestiges appear like fragments recalled from memory. Between one layer and the next, time accumulates—allowing outer reality and inner perception to coexist within the same image.

學經歷與國際展出|Academic Background & Exhibitions

鄭真蓉 1972 年生於韓國全州,畢業於首爾弘益大學美術學院東洋畫學系,並取得學士、碩士與博士學位。其創作在延續東方繪畫傳統的同時,亦持續探索當代視覺表現的轉化方式,逐步建立出屬於自身的藝術語言。

Born in Jeonju, Korea, in 1972, Jeong Jin-Yong received his B.F.A., M.F.A., and Ph.D. from the College of Fine Arts at Hongik University in Seoul. While rooted in the discipline of Oriental painting, his practice has continuously expanded toward a distinctly contemporary visual language.
