Through the Western abstract expressionist form, which is unconstrained by imagination or expression, and the Eastern expression method inherited from traditional ink painting - the way in which the inherent properties of canvas, paper, and paints interact with each other to express themselves - he established an Eastern abstract expressionism based on tradition, and expressed his own artistic language that is distinctly different from Western abstract expressionism through the painting method of spontaneously dyeing various colors of paints on canvas and paper.

About the author

Inspired by the landscapes of hanji, which are infused with herbal medicines that she often encountered in her childhood, KWANG YOUNG CHUN began to attract
international attention with her series "Set," in which she folded old books, dyed them in various colors, and arranged them on canvases. The world has been enthusiastic about the way he expresses tradition, the accumulation of time, condensed history and human history collectively on the screen, and in 2017, he was invited by the Boghossian Foundation, an international cultural patronage organization that organized the 'Monochromatic Painting' exhibition at the 2015 Venice Biennale, to hold a solo exhibition at Villa Empain in Brussels, Belgium, and in 2019, he was invited to hold a solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, one of the five major art museums in New York.
