SIM Raejung is a Korean artist based in Seoul. Her work, which typically takes the form of drawings, short animations (sometimes made with collaborators, such as the musician KIN) and paintings, as well as sculpture and installations, focuses on moments of mental, physical and social discomfort in everyday life, as well as the more bizarre and fantastical scenarios such episodes trigger. Her work, which ocsillates between dark humour and lighter comedy, often highlights the disjuncture between reality and the imaginary, which is in turn mirrored by the relationship between image and text (both Korean Hangul and English) in recent works.
