Cheong breaks with the conventional idea of sculpture, its massiveness, volume and rigidity in favour of a more transparent and lighter approach. He irritates our habits of perception by depriving well-known shapes of their defining mass and material weight and sets them as transparent shapes in direct relation to the surrounding space.
Cheong Kwang-Ho’s works transcend the limitations of mass and material, of objects and their occupied space in favour of a universal idea, which unites the spirituality of the East with the tradition of the West.
