The Düsseldorf based Korean artist Sen Chung has created in the last two decades an impressively homogeneous and conceptually coherent oeuvre which directs the viewer towards questioning the immanent nature and peculiarity of the universe of painting. His works, oil paintings, drawings, aquarelles, photos present mostly simple forms, partly nonrepresentational – abstract – elements like squares, rectangles, circles or thin, bodiless lines, partly mimetic motives from the nature or – most rarely – human or animal figures, fragments of bodies, sometimes architectural forms or landscape motives.
