Living and working in Melbourne, Australia, Stephanie Jook is a contemporary artist, conceptually driven by the emotive result of reflection and connection within monochromatic abstraction. Through combining methods of painting and sculpture in her practice, she uses tonal and textural elements to create paintings that draw upon the interrelation between light and dark, positive and negative, the oscillating and stagnant, the chaotic within the calm.
​
Working intuitively with mark making and materiality, her practice involves a material mapping which embeds her personal experience and passage of time. Producing tonal paintings which reveal their subtle shades as you walk around and interact with them alongside heavily textural works that hold a sense of movement captured in time, she solidifies and represents a power and strength in fragility and vulnerability through material matter.
​
Since graduating in 2022 with a Bachelor of Fine Art at RMIT, she has held two solo exhibitions in Melbourne’s inner north suburbs and has been involved in group exhibitions along Australia’s East Coast including Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart since first exhibiting in 2019. ​
