My sculpture teacher has required us to go to all the exhibitions at the school and this one was the first, however when I saw the artwork on the post card to promote the event I really wanted to go regardless if was an assignment. I was marveled by the pictures of his work before I even went to the show because his artwork appeared to have so much depth. When I was actually able to see the artwork in person I was taken aback by the fact that the parts of the artwork that appeared to have depth were actually flat and naturally shaded black from natural dyes. What was really incredible about Kwang Young Chun work was the many, many, many, little paper wrapped pieces that were fitted together like a puzzle. It was really beautiful. His design and concept were so simple but those little pieces created so much detail. I was able to see the hard work and its must have taken so much time but by the way the artist talked about it, he really enjoyed making it despite the time consumption. It is pretty inspirational. I hope to have the time to look at it again.
