Salon International D’Art Contemporain, Lyon, France.

Chob will be presented at the International Contemporary Art Fair in Lyon, France, on 24 April 2026.

Her participation brings forward a body of work that situates memory, identity, and the chronification of traumatic experience within a durational and process-based framework. Rather than treating trauma as a discrete event, Chob approaches it as a continuous condition—one that persists, accumulates, and reshapes perception over time.

Working across painting, textile, and mixed media, her practice develops through repetition, seriality, and restrained gesture. These methods construct visual systems in which meaning is not immediate, but emerges through layering, variation, and temporal extension. The works operate as fragments within larger open-ended structures, reflecting an interest in accumulation as both formal strategy and conceptual logic.

Presented within the context of the Lyon fair, the works enter into dialogue with a broader contemporary field concerned with materiality, embodied memory, and the politics of time. The exhibition space becomes a site where individual visual languages intersect with collective curatorial frameworks, allowing for shifting readings between intimacy and structure, rupture and continuity.

Chob’s contribution proposes a sustained reflection on how lived and inherited histories are embedded within everyday perception, and how artistic practice can function as a form of temporal registration—slow, iterative, and unresolved.
