BIOGRAPHY
CHO Yea Jae was born in Busan (South Korea) in 1971. Resolutely modern with various interests in philosophy, society and the environment, she is an artist of contrast and attracts opposites.
Her works are based on the continuous observation of the world around her. Whenever Yea Jae finds the time she travels to other parts of the world experiencing different cultures and meeting various people.
All these rich encounters with multi-cultural backgrounds not only helped her develop a strong empathy but also inspired her with the beauty of the difference and a deep understanding of humanity.
Through her works she expresses the simple conclusions drawn after the tortuous journeys of the mind and soul. To bring out the best on canvas she constantly keeps researching and developing new techniques.
Humanity is strong and beautiful. This is what she ultimately believes in and with this in mind her “Ready to Open” series was born as a symbol of true HOPE.
With her "Transcendence" series, she presents a conceptual minimalist series based on a deep self-reflection and an Eastern Asian philosophical approach.
Her first exhibition was staged in Hong Kong in 2000, since then she has participated to various exhibitions, Art fairs, and special events.
More recently she presented her works through several solo exhibitions around the world (Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, Paris, Madrid) and two iconic exhibitions in Spain (Madrid and Malaga).
She currently lives between Spain and Korea.
