ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH 2008
JUNG GALLERY, SEOUL
Universal Resonance through Oriental spirit
Hidden power of our nation's mysterious veil is now held. 13 artists will exhibit in ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH 2008. Their meditative works express Dynamic Korea . We can compare it to dynamism inside calmness. They ultimately focus on the harmony of naturalism and humanism. Eventually traditions float, run and change. Korea was destroyed after Korean civil war but has been recovered with its own religion, self-discipline. Now days they eagerly want Reunification of Korea and world peace. These artists capture the beauty of nature and heal mundane society and enlighten Korea and the world. They dream utopian world through Universal resonance.

ABOUT JUNG GALLERY
I. History and Location
Since Gallery Jung opened at KwangHwaMoon, the cultural heart of Seoul in 2001, it held many invitational and special exhibitions every year, and put force our strength to develop for the arts with young and middle aged artists. Especially, it has been bringing up young artists, whose works are alternation for Korean traditional paintings' techniques with contemporary arts, toward not only an internal of the country but also the world.
JungWon, as the multi-cultural place, consists of Gallery Jung and Space Won, and means "garden.” This indicates the garden in the complicated city of Seoul, and is busy and existing in the modern people's minds without belonging to anywhere. The cultural place, JungWon, which has the both exhibition and performance spaces, tries to desire for the artistic accomplishments for modern people.
When Gallery Jung had the first exhibition with the subject of a crane in 2001, a famous dancer of the crane showed his performances at the same time. In June, 2002, three artists, a mom with two daughters, showed the form of connecting spaces at the exhibition of "Opened treasure box”, and also performed of one scene from < A Midsummer Night s Dream> by Shakespeare at the opening reception.
II. Space
Gallery Jung with unique exhibition spaces consists of the first floor (Exhibition hall #1 and #2), the second floor (exhibition hall #3), outdoor space (available for sculpture and installation works), and art shop, and also communicates and adjusts about curating directly with artists, in order to actualize the progress of new visual images from the harmony of spaces and art works.
III. Exhibitions
Gallery Jung had about 80 times exhibitions by the most prominent Korean and foreign artists. They exhibited about murals of landscapes, oil paintings, paintings on holding fans and print makings. Each artist impressed the audiences of Gallery Jung with different views and characters.

- The balance with the society, <Work of installation>
In the spring of 2006, Gallery Jung's special project "Spring in CheonGyeCheon”, introduced the decoration like ‘publicness' and ‘common' over the foundation of criticism throughout the authority in art for thousand years, before the discussion of social responsibilities and artistic qualities. It reduced the disused arts, consisted discussions for positive mass productions with the publics, and contributed from the newly born ‘Spring in CheonGyeCheon' to maximize its usefulness by using the feature of time.
Gallery Jung has had interests in foreign art movements. In the exhibition of "Matisse's secret,” we held a forum of connecting African art, Matisse, and Picasso, who had influences by Matisse and discussion with critics and art relatives. Since then, we positively invited foreign artists to have exchange exhibitions.
IV. International Art Fairs
Gallery Jung looks for outstanding artists to participate in famous international art fairs. Since 2002 Gallery Jung began to participate in the Art Fair ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH as the first Korean gallery, exhibited in the main spot of the fair, and provided the power of the globalization in Korean culture every year. At the both of ‘Artexpo New York' in March and ‘Europ'art Geneva' in May, Gallery Jung showed ability of Korean arts very well. We had been selling many art works, and also had been making contracts with international galleries for the future exchange exhibitions. From the starting of having an exhibition of Christine Kunkler from Germany in June, 2006, MABOU from France in November, 2006, Hardy from Austria and JohannaS from Switzerland in May, 2007, Gallery Jung will continue to have many international artists' exhibitions, which can make for Korean arts to stand on the world arts' markets for a long time. This Autunm, Gallery Jung has plan to exhibit in Puertorico art Fair as an invitational gallery.
This Summer in ‘ Expoart Montreal International Festival 2007' Jung gallery did an important role as the first Korean gallery participated in that fair. Also, we scheduled to participate in ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH 2007 on this coming October and Artexpo New York on February, 2008. In the future, Gallery Jung will participate in more international art fairs with authority in all over the world.
V. Looking for future-oriented young artists
From the year of 2005, Gallery Jung began a project to find out passionate young artists, in order to introduce progressive artists and to exhibit their creative works to the societies. Gallery Jung, with its unique exhibition spaces and various artists, who try to find a way out visual arts as a method of communicating with others, creates new groups of artists and supports new and powerful artists throughout the project, and further more, becomes an important spot to develop talented people as showing another sides in Korean arts. Based on these meanings of the project, View Finder of YAP (Young Artist Project) gives consequence to provide an individual booth for getting experiences of solo exhibitions.
After the exhibition of YAP project, it can be decided how Gallery Jung can support selected artists for solo exhibitions throughout the strict judgment by the committee. As fulfilling expressions and desires about raising the balances of multiple visions and spaces, Gallery Jung's special project, which can bring a new movement, indicates various creative artistic languages, and as a cultural place for visual images, we would like to provide our spaces for artists' creative rooms and as well as a part of substitutions. In succession of the first and the second YAP project, Gallery Jung starts to accept portfolios for the third time of 2007 View Finder of YAP. The final deadline is on October, 30th, 2007. Gallery Jung always expects to receive many efficient artists' participation.
Gallery Jung as the multi-cultural place will grow more variously than the way it is, and you can watch us with your concerns and expectations for always different management by the president, Kyung-Sook Chung, and all staffs toward not only in domestic markets, but also to the world.

Artist's note:
"My painting is not an outward representation of a thing but a presentation of "the stream of consciousness through image”. The most significant element in an abstract mode (as a way of presentation of pure behaviour) is the repetition of action. Based on this principle, I filled up canvases with various lines, contrasting colours and diverse forms. For more deeply organized composition I cut my ready-made colour papers and then reorganize them. The experimental forms and the exploration of the plastic elements constitute both of the inside and the outside of my work. So the inseparable relation between content and forms will be the most cardinal point of my paintings which I pursue."

He has held eight solo exhibitions, participated in a total of 100-odd group exhibitions, written numerous theses including the one titled "Relationship between Painting and Poetry in Oriental Paintings”. He was a judge on the awarding panel for the Korea Art Grand Festival and now is working as a professor in the College of Art, Dongguk University. Just as a Zen Buddhist obtains a new viewpoint from religious paradigms, he comprehends the essential characteristics of a substance and expresses it in his visual language. With the implements and the techniques borrowed from the conventional expressionism of ink-and-wash painting, his bold and liberal brushworks bring the figures, simplified and ummarized, up on the sheet.
