SUNG-PIL CHAE

Chae Sung-Pil’s soil palette, collected from various trips around the world and then filtered, diluted into color powder or pigment, creates a reminiscence of the earth’s own texture. The soil is specially prepared on mulberry paper and often mixed with ink and powdered silver and gold dust, then interacted with tools or running water guided by the artist through gravity, his movement and the rushing of water.
