[2025 Art SG] Jung Kwang Ho

Jung Kwang Ho, who aims to weave between painting and sculpture, desires to explore the essence and interpretation of sculpture in particular. A sculpture is a tangible representation of an image manifested by the sculptor using materials, techniques, and tools to create a specific object in a particular way. Jung oxymoronically refers to his works as "non-sculptural sculptures," as he works with non-sculptural properties to create essentially sculptural works. The paradoxical expression is part of how he explores the essence of sculpture. The artist made no distinction between inside and outside, instead exposing the surface and penetrating through to suggest that surfaces are merely the superficial layer of sculptural essence and the surface of reality. Jung presented solo exhibitions in various museums worldwide, including the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Art Sonje Museum, Gyeongju, South Korea, Kumho Art Museum, Seoul, South Korea, Gallery Thomas, Munich, Germany, Lumen Gallery, Paris, France, and Canvas International Art Gallery, Amsterdam, Netherlands. He also participated in significant group exhibitions at institutions such as the Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, South Korea, Samsung Museum of Art Leeum, Seoul, South Korea, Singapore Art Museum, Singapore, and Gyeonggi Museum of Art, Ansan, South Korea. His works are held in various collections, including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea, Daejeon Museum of Art, Daejeon, South Korea, Hanlim Museum of Art, Daejeon, South Korea, Sonje Museum of Contemporary Art, Gyeongju, South Korea, and Ho-Am Art Museum, Seoul, South Korea.
