Firmament in Flux

Firmament in Flux illuminates the parallels between ancient philosophies and contemporary thought, particularly the way Qi, the life force permeating all existence, embodies the interwoven nature of the cosmos. This idea resonates with modern scientific perspectives on the flow of energy through the universe’s empty spaces, emphasising the continuity between the physical and the spiritual realms. The Firmament, a cosmic web of unseen forces, mirrors Qi as the energy that unites the tangible and intangible. Moreover, the notion of a forgotten space encapsulates the hidden forces that shape our existence—realms we inhabit yet often overlook. The concept of the Firmament invites viewers to explore dimensions beyond the visible, bridging the gap between presence and absence.

About the artist

Gi-ok Jeon is a Korean-born, Bangkok-based multi-media artist whose practice bridges traditional techniques and contemporary themes. With a BFA in Painting from Seoul and an MFA in Chinese Painting from Beijing’s prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts, Jeon’s artistic journey reflects a deep engagement with diverse cultural influences. Her move to Bangkok marked a new chapter, where she further honed her skills in printmaking at Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts. Jeon’s work is characterised by her innovative fusion of mediums—ranging from embroidery and woodcuts to painting and weaving. This eclectic approach allows her to explore complex themes of multicultural identity, motherhood, and the rhythms of everyday life. Drawing from her Korean roots, Chinese aesthetics, and life in Thailand, her art becomes a tapestry of interconnected narratives that resonate across cultures.
