Abstract
[From the Sundaram Tagore Gallery website exhibition page]
Sundaram Tagore Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by acclaimed Korean artist Chun Kwang Young. The show—the artist’s first in New York in four years—features a comprehensive survey of work from his noted Aggregation series, which explores themes of harmony and conflict.
Chun Kwang Young began his career as a painter, but shifted his focus to paper sculpture in the mid-1990s. Incorporating elements of both painting and sculpture, Chun’s Aggregations are assemblages: freestanding and wall-hung amalgamations of small, triangular forms wrapped in antique mulberry paper, often tinted with teas or pigment.
. . . .
Chun Kwang Young received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Hongik University, Seoul, and a Master of Fine Arts from the Philadelphia College of Art, Pennsylvania. His work is in numerous public collections, including The Rockefeller Foundation and the United Nations, New York; the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Washington, D. C.; the Philadelphia Society Building, Pennsylvania; the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, and the Seoul Museum of Art; the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and the National Museum of Fine Arts, Malta.
He was named Artist of the Year by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, in 2001 and in 2009 he was awarded the Presidential Prize in the 41st Korean Culture and Art Prize by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
