About the artwork
Jung Kwang Sik creates a layered depth effect for the vast and luscious green landscape. The black granite is painted green to bring out the lushness of the forest. He artfully captures the movement of the greenery blowing along with the strong gusts of wind. Because of its innate grainy characteristic, it is able to absorb the green colour at different levels resulting in the variety of hues seen on this piece, further enhancing its richness and magnificence. This vivid visual field creates an unbridled tranquillity that is seen in nature. Capturing the ebb and flow of nature, he projects the universal rhythm of the relationship shared between man and our world.
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.
