EDJI Gallery is pleased to announce Echoes of Home, a solo exhibition of new works by British-Korean artist Kayoon Anderson. Anderson's paintings explore the quiet interplay between people and their environments. Drawing inspiration from early Italian Renaissance art and traditional Korean Munbangdo still-life painting, Anderson's work occupies a space that hovers between naturalism and abstraction

In this exhibition, Kayoon expands her exploration of motherhood, memory, and identity, creating a personal visual dialogue that spans generations. Her works not only express her own evolving sense of motherhood but also pay homage to her forebears, embodying a continuum that reaches back through generations and projects forward into the future. This multi-generational perspective offers a layered reflection on familial bonds and cultural heritage, bridging her experiences between Korea and the UK. Grounded in her observations of motherhood, Kayoon Anderson’s perspective is imbued with a tenderness that reflects both the partiality of a prospective mother and the inherited wisdom of those who came before her. The figures in her paintings are not isolated; they exist harmoniously within their surroundings, blending seamlessly into the architecture of their environments. This balanced relationship between figure and space creates a contemplative stillness, where people and places are woven together. Kayoon Anderson’s compositions, inspired by family photographs and filtered through memory, merge reality with imagination. She draws influence from European medieval art and traditional Korean still life (Mungbando Art), crafting multi-perspective compositions that are both playful and precise. Her subtle color palette enhances the warmth and nostalgia of each scene, capturing a sense of both place and presence.
