About the Artwork
Featuring industrial materials such as aluminum frames, tempered glass and polyester films in his paintings, Seung Taik Jang has been continuously exploring different materials. His art is called 'transpainting' as it is 'transparent' in the sense that glass is featured in his works and is methodologically 'translating' the form of painting with a combination of art pieces. In a broader sense, the term also highlights the fact that his art is a new version of painting that goes beyond traditional painting mainly involving brushes and canvases.
