Won Kun Jun / artwork  1494

Wonkun Jun lets paint appear like veils on the painting surface and thus achieves exciting effects.  On the one hand, there is the strict constructivism, on the other hand, the clearly visible brushstroke, only incompletely disciplined by the clear form. Both appear to be congenially interwoven here, as layer after layer is laid over one another in an extremely time-consuming painting process. One cannot help feeling that one has to straighten one’s glasses because of the unclear edges. In fact, this impression is created by the obviously very well thought-out paint structure. There are up to 20 layers of paint on top of each other. The individual layers appear very transparent and allow the underlying base tone to shimmer through, creating exciting interactions.
