About this artwork
“Checking” addresses the intensifying gender conflict in contemporary society, focusing on the tendency to assert one’s own gender-based perspective without attempting to understand others. The figure, checking their own genitals, symbolizes the act of defining oneself through a single, fixed criterion, thereby confining thought within it.
Such an attitude reduces complex issues into simplistic binaries, leading individuals to repeat their own positions… rather than engage in mutual understanding. This work reveals the disconnection produced by excessive identification with one’s own category, suggesting that understanding begins not with others, but with questioning the way we define ourselves.

A painter by profession, Jungwan Chae boldly brings his military background to life. He employs anonymized, bald figures in suits to critique society, utilizing simple yet impactful beans to depict modern social realities. His art passionately expresses individual and collective dissatisfaction, stimulating dialogue about societal issues.
