About the artwork
Jung Kwang Sik's works are not drawings but sculptures of stone plates emulating the apparence of a painting through carefully crafted optical illusions. Grinding the stone to shape, the artist materialises trails of coastal movement, the sea rising, and eroding the stone plates. The granite wall sculpture looks like earth, the waving surface of water and even the sky.
About the artist
Internationally recognized for his masterful fusion
of painting and sculpture, South Korean artist Jung Kwang Sik graduated in 1992
with a Stage Design major from Carrara Academy, Italy, later receiving his
BFA from Hong-lk University in 1996. Utilizing beds of carved and scratched
granite, which he then paints, his works suggest sweeping landscapes viewed
from an aerial perspective. His exceptional skill of carving, scratching and
painting creates a vision of landscapes as one might see them from 30,000 feet,
materialized in trails of crustal movements, the swelling and contraction of
the earth, and the etched beauty of erosion. The resulting visual field is majestic and unforgettable.
