Steve Turner is pleased to present Gen 3, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based Paige Jiyoung Moon which features works from the past three years that depict scenes of her family engaged in everyday domestic activities as well as on special road trips. Moon’s highly detailed small-scale paintings elevate otherwise ordinary activities such as napping with her daughter, taking a walk and painting her apartment building to something special that needs to be remembered, preserved and cherished. Paintings of road trips are another important aspect of Moon’s studio practice. They convey the grandeur of the landscape but also the tents, the campsite, the traffic and more broadly, the togetherness of friends and family. Her careful details, perspective, cropping and sense of humor make the mundane special, the small monumental and the personal universal.
Born in Seoul, Moon moved to the United States to study at Art Center, Pasadena from which she earned a BFA in 2012. She has had two previous solo exhibitions at Steve Turner (2019 & 2020) and has also presented works at several art fairs since 2018. In 2023, her work was included in Made In LA, the biennial exhibition presented at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Moon will next present works at KIAF, Seoul in September 2024.
