ARTIST INFO
About
Ji Won Cha (b. South Korea) is an artist based in London. In 2020 she graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Painting, and is now enrolled on the MA programme at The Royal College of Art. Her paintings use the natural world as a metaphor, this subject becoming a matter for both a celebration of life and contemplation of fear; a subject of spiritual longing but also a subject of technical evolutionary development. The resultant works appear as flows of imagery from a seemingly unconscious mind.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Celebrating the arrival of springtime, Bloom 1 and 2 introduce emotional attributes to the work. Looking at how the landscape shapes our sense of belonging, how it shapes our stories and tales, our behaviours, the works encompass and are embedded with intensity – one being more of a representative study, and the other having a more abstract language, which cannot be easily explained, processed, or measured- through mark making, symbols, and colour.
You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
PLEASE DO NOT BID ON ARTWORK IN OUR ART ON A POSTCARD AUCTIONS IF YOU INTEND ON SELLING THE ARTWORK AFTER YOU HAVE PURCHASED IT. THIS AUCTION HAS BEEN ORGANISED FOR CHARITY AND ALL ARTWORKS HAVE BEEN GENEROUSLY DONATED BY THE ARTISTS TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE HEPATITIS C TRUST. WHEN THE WORK PRODUCED FOR THE CHARITY IS SOLD ON THE SECONDARY MARKET IT DAMAGES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ARTIST AND PREVENTS US FROM FUNDRAISING.
