kwonny (she/her b.1988, New York) is a Korean-American artist creating figurative works that often depict animal and plant-like figures morphing into each other. The forms produced mirror the choreography between predator and prey within environmental themes exploring the natural world and the consequences of the Anthropocene. Raw canvas is juxtaposed with intricate yet minimally controlled patterns cut into wet paint that develop ideas of domestication and extinction versus wildness and proliferation. She began creating work while in Australia in 2020 and now lives in Seattle, traveling frequently between the two countries and pulling inspiration from both. Her work has been exhibited internationally including in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia.
