This book is published in conjunction with Chun Kwangyoung's solo exhibition with the same name, held at Gallery Hyundai in June 2011. It provides an overview of Chun’s Aggregation series from 2007 to 2011.
Incorporating hundreds of triangular Styrofoam covered in Korean mulberry paper into his works, Chun associates with his childhood memory and his own root - traditional Korean culture. In his essay, Harry Philbrick views the mulberry paper as a key element to Chun's work, 'an element that is apparent even to a viewer who has not been to the place he calls home.' Philbrick concludes, 'Chun's work taps into the complex cultural and physical eco-systems of Korea; its dependence on Chinese tradition, and its own singular growth in the contemporary world.'
Chun's art is recognised as original and extraordinary in terms of medium and form. Noted Kwang-Su Oh in the essay, Chun's artwork 'simultaneously contains picturesque attributes and three-dimensional structures. Although, as planes, his works possess a pictorial character, they are not simply pictures that are processed on flat ground, because their two-dimensional surfaces are, themselves, composed of regular and structural formations.'
Artist biography included.
