Chung Sanghwa, Untitled 86-2-281986, Acrylic on canvas, 227.3 x 181 cm

Chung Sanghwa (Korean정상화; Hanja鄭相和; born 1932) is a South Korean minimalist and Dansaekhwa artist.[1][2][3] After receiving his BFA from the College of Fine Arts in Seoul National University in 1956, Chung developed his unique grid-like painting style in Japan and France in the late 1970s and early 1980s.[4] Coming from a generation of post-war South Korean artists, Chung's reductive process of painting consists of repetitive application and removal of the paint on canvas.[5]
