Myth of Our Time
by Gallery Songadang
Location: Gallery Songadang
Artist(s): CHUNG Younghan
Date: 10 Nov - 29 Nov 2010

There is no emotional expression in seascape of Chung. There is no sound of the waves, bloody smell of sea, and no fresh air. That is stuffed sea like digital seascape. Actually, he hasn’t been to sea for his painting. So, his seascape is an ideal sea. Everyone has an image of sea in one’s mind and that is in his painting. Imaginary world with familiar images is strange to us because that is not a real exist. Chung gives a chance to confirm this unfamiliar feeling by his painting technique. He draws kinesthetic sense-maximizing images on the plane seascape from frozen image of photography and kinesthetic sense-maximizing images. Most of objects are flowers, and there is a picturesque description with loud color and fine effects of light and shade. The flowers are giant or distorted and sometimes they are flying in the air like falling blossoms. This scene makes optical illusion such as floating flowers on large scale printed photography with seascape. After all, we can get a sight of imaginary world in between two images which are very lifelike exists. By doing this, Chung expects to achieve his own imaginary world by optical illusion in painting, and that is a kind of virtual reality like digital interface. We live in this world.
