The relationship between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional is a central element in Chung Eun Mo’s painting. Her analysis of perspective and her dedication to its construction, result in a form of conceptual art that leads to a rigorous, concrete and tangible creation of shape and space compositions. A structural approach to painting that, while retaining its originality, evokes the tradition of Le Corbusier and Josef Albers in the constancy of pursuit and boundless experimenting.
George Sowden, designer – one of the founders of Memphis – uses elements of his industrial productions and transforms them into a personal vocabulary to create a series of impressive installation. Designer said: “I have constructed art works (and I do consider them art) using some bits-and-pieces taken from manufactured objects that I designed, including patterns I did for textiles and decorations from my ceramics. Using them as raw material I have rearranged them, sometimes changing the scale, and installing them in such a way that they are no longer recognisable as products. Decontextualised they are just colours and shapes.”
