Jun Shya is a London-based artist whose practice explores the fragmentation of identity, the fluidity of perceived reality, and the psychological tension between concealment and exposure. Currently completing a BA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts, Shya approaches painting as a site of reconstruction—where collage, airbrush textures, layered surface, experimenting variety of materials, converge to question the authenticity of the self and the reality we inhabit.

Her work is grounded in a deep sensitivity to materiality and visual rhythm. By mimicking the appearance of tape, transparency, and disjointed forms, she creates figures that appear in flux—caught between gestures, glances, or emotional states. Through this process, Shya investigates the subtle drama of intimacy, the performativity of daily life, and the quiet choreography of human relationships.

With a background that bridges fine art and design, Shya brings a multidisciplinary awareness to her compositions. Her visual language draws on both digital aesthetics and traditional techniques, allowing her to construct painterly spaces that feel both tactile and intangible.

Recurring patterns—such as triangular tensions, redirected gazes, and fractured silhouettes—reveal an unconscious architecture in her work, pointing toward a deeper internal logic. At once poetic and precise, Shya’s practice invites the viewer to inhabit the in-between: the moment before decision, the mask before the reveal, the glance before it settles.
