About the artwork
Transcending boundaries of painting and sculpture, Jung Kwang Sik creates monumental Granite renderings of nature’s most magnificent offerings, cast in perspectives seldom seen by men. Through his selection of aerial views, the artist’s meditative grinding of stone allows the creation of meticulously representative texture which is then given multiple dimensions through his addition of paint. In ‘View’, the artist shows mastery over his depiction of light and shade, commanding texture of solid rock to be perceived as the eternal movement of the sea. The picturesque serenity of the image is not only aesthetically stunning, but an exposition of the artist’s dedication to his skill.
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.
