FINE ART
Chung’s artistic style, Automatic Drawing, is spontaneous, created without preparation or fixed composition. His paintings transform subconscious impulses and life experiences into lines, fragments, and symbols, resonating with both his memories and the audience’s, evoking emotions such as joy, sadness, fear, or desire. The process is aleatoric, with overlapping imagery and fractal forms that shift and recombine.
“I draw automatically,” says Chung.
Automatic Drawing allows him to release subconscious emotions freely. The hand moves intuitively across the canvas, developing a personal technique with both familiar and unfamiliar materials. Chung often mixes acrylics and Chinese ink, merging oil painting realism with calligraphic fluidity to create a dialogue between East and West.
He believes drawing is an innate human capacity. For Chung, Automatic Drawing is both a representation of the subconscious and a continual process of self-assembly.
