Description of the work

  • Media Acrylic on canvas
  • Location 1F, The Lounge & Bar, LOTTE HOTEL WORLD
In this diptych composed of intersecting color bands, Wonkun Jun constructs paintings through a layered grid structure reminiscent of woven textiles. Vertical and horizontal strokes overlap in measured rhythms, creating subtle modulations in tone where colors meet, blend, or momentarily resist one another. Transparency and opacity alternate across the surface, producing a quiet dynamism that shifts with each viewing. Within this gentle structure, color becomes both form and movement—calculated, meditative, and continually evolving

About the author

Wonkun Jun is a Korean artist based in Düsseldorf whose practice explores color as a fundamental and emotional language. For Jun, paint and brush are not industrial tools but humanistic mediums that reflect his inner sensitivity. His works are created through a repetitive process of layering and removing diluted acrylics, allowing subtle harmonies and tensions to emerge on the canvas. Deeply attuned to the materiality of pigment and the influence of time, climate, and gesture, Jun’s painting process is both contemplative and precise. Drawing from the meditative ethos of Dansaekhwa while maintaining a distinct voice, his works function like quiet letters—personal, restrained, and resonant.
