The first monograph on Korean artist Kwang Young Chun, renowned for exquisite handmade mulberry paper sculptures and textured surfaces that represent harmony and conflict in society. Covering the entirety of Kwang Young Chun's career, from his early abstract paintings to his famed Aggregation series-complex structures and canvases created from the antique, handmade mulberry paper pages of literary and academic texts tinted with teas, fruits, and flowers-this book documents a highly influential contemporary artist whose work, writes the New York Times, "...makes you sense something fundamental about great art that is too often forgotten or overlooked in today's age of instant everything." The use of traditional materials and organic dyes and his meticulous process imbue Chun's compositions with a timeless quality that has been recognized around the world. In 2001, Chun received the artist of the year award from the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea. His works are included in esteemed public collections, such as the United Nations and Rockefeller Foundation in New York, and were exhibited at the Kunstwerk Museum in Eberdingen-Nussdorf, Germany.
