During the politically and socially turbulent early decades of postwar Korea, Jung played an exemplary role in the Korean emergence of a self-consciously abstract ink painting through sustained experimentation that included rejecting the use of ink, the very material that crucially defined ink painting. For Jung, abstraction was a necessary platform for rethinking entrenched concepts of medium, presence, and form in hopes of arriving at a more expanded view of contemporary art.” Signed lower left.
