Nam Tchun-Mo (*1961) represents a contemporary continuation of the Dansaekhwa movement, a South Korean art movement that already in the 1960s worked radically abstract, largely monochrome and increasingly three-dimensional. Through repetitive actions in a meditative painting practice, he creates a contemporary interpretation of “golbeop”, a classical principle of East Asian painting that emphasises the structural vitality and life-force of the brushstroke. He organically connects tradition and modernity.
