About the artwork

In this sculpture, Jung Kwang Sik sculpts onto the granite the landscape of a rainforest. The grinding done on the granite block follows two different directions, which can be clearly seen when one walks from the right to the left, and vice versa, of the sculpture. The black granite is painted green to bring out the lushness of the forest. 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.



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.
