DescriptionThe outer edges in “Night Air No 59” seem to barely contain the amorphous interior like a soap bubble while the textures remind the artist of stone…opposing physical attributes that co-exist in a precarious tension. Kung is always on the lookout for unexpected nuances that can emerge from subtle changes in the working method, and the shifting emphases from work to work.
