Established Artists

Articles Artist Chung Seoyoung Captures the ‘Sculptural Moments’ from the Objects Playing a leading role in the establishment of “Korean Contemporary Art” as a new category of contemporary art in the 1990s, sculptor Chung Seoyoung (b. 1964) has been addressing fundamental questions concerning sculpture itself by incorporating the unrealistic gaps in the rapidly changing atmosphere of Korean society into her sculptures. In particular, the artist has garnered attention for her practice of reassembling and transforming everyday commodities found in industrialized societies, such as Styrofoam, plastic, plywood, and sponges, into a sculptural state.
