Christine Kwon
Painting
b. Seoul, South Korea
Lives and works in New York, NY / Miami Beach, FL
Christine Kwon is a Korean American artist based in New York and Miami. Her practice focuses on layered abstract painting that explores memory and inherited experience rooted in her mother’s childhood memories in Korea. Drawing from a background in interior design, she integrates structural sensitivity with intuitive gesture through translucent acrylic layers, organic forms, and mixed media interventions. Her work engages an ongoing dialogue between Korean and American identities, as well as between memory and contemporary abstraction.
Kwon holds a BFA in Interior Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and dual master's degrees in Sustainability and Real Estate Development from the Fashion Institute of Technology and the University of Miami.
