Hailing from Korea, the artwork of Bae Joon Sung both evokes and challenges conventional methods of observation and perception. Utilizing the dynamics of space, environment, and viewer, Bae has created a distinct artistic language that speaks to the naturally evolving kinetics of contemporary life.
Bae acknowledges the multi-dimensional layers of perception that begin with the artist and continue into the boundlessness of subjective vision. Juxtaposing modern photography and traditional painting techniques, his works depict a fascination with romanticism and the influences of modernity. Rather than disentangling himself from the intricacies of history and modern fragmentation, Bae collocates the two to create a cohesive composition of contemporary tradition.
