Jaedon Shin: painter
By artsHub | Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Jaedon Shin was born in South Korea in 1959. The country was ruled by military dictatorship during the late 1970s and, tragically,
Jaedon’s hometown was massacred in the spring of 1980.
At university Jaedon took part in the social reform movement, devoting his student life to a movement for democracy. This fed his interest
in depicting the figures in a social and political context, in his work exploring the idea of isolation, an outsider living in another country.
He also explores the notion of a person’s history and how it can affects them.
After moving to Australia in 2007, he found inspiration in Godwin Bradbeer’s work at the James Making Gallery. This led to him studying under Bradbeer
from 2009 to 2011 at RMIT University. He was also taught by Peter Westwood and Greg Creek.
Since finishing art school, Jaedon returned to Seoul, Korea, where he held an exhibition of his work. Local newspapers praised his work for challenging
an ambiguous society.
He has now returned to Australia to present another exhibition this month.
Here he talks to ArtsHub:
