Though the term translates literally to \"monochrome painting,\" Dansaekhwa is rather characterized by its labor-intensive processes, repetitive gestures and reductionist aesthetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver his nearly six-decades-long career, Chung has developed a singular, meditative process of repetitively applying and removing paint from his canvases, resulting in multilayered, tactile monochromatic surfaces. \u003ci\u003eChung Sang-Hwa: Excavations, 1964-78\u003c\/i\u003e highlights a critical period in the artist's career in which he was immersed in the international avant-garde movements of both Asia and Europe.
