September 19 – November 16, 2003
Artist Chun Kwang-Young’s work reflects his intense preoccupation with both minimalist art and the cultural history of his homeland. In the mid-1990s, Chun began a series of mixed media paintings and sculptural objects fashioned from paper. Formulated around the basic structural unit of the triangle, each work incorporates hundreds of such units wrapped in mulberry paper and arranged into larger compositions. The resulting pieces derive rich associations from the cultural uses of mulberry paper, which has served integral purposes in everyday Korean life.
