Artist

Sungyoon Jung

'... Painting is a matter of subtraction. Noises of reality are removed, and the selected takes place in a frame, following a new set of rules. With the purpose of materialising the unseen world, the subject is rendered with pure colours and tender emotion.'

from leaflet of Solo Show in 2018
