Jung Kwang Ho, who aims to weave between painting and sculpture, desires to explore the essence and interpretation of sculpture in particular. A sculpture is a tangible representation of an image manifested by the sculptor using materials, techniques, and tools to create a specific object in a particular way. Jung oxymoronically refers to his works as "non-sculptural sculptures," as he works with non-sculptural properties to create essentially sculptural works. The paradoxical expression is part of how he explores the essence of sculpture. The artist made no distinction between inside and outside, instead exposing the surface and penetrating through to suggest that surfaces are merely the superficial layer of sculptural essence and the surface of reality. Jung presented solo exhibitions in various museums worldwide, including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Art Sonje Museum in Gyeongju, Kumho Art Museum in Seoul, Gallery Thomas in Munich, Lumen Gallery in Paris, and Canvas International Art Gallery in Amsterdam. He also participated in significant group exhibitions at institutions such as the Seoul Museum of Art, Samsung Museum of Art Leeum, Singapore Art Museum, and Gyeonggi Museum of Art. His works are held in various collections, including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Daejeon Museum of Art, Hanlim Museum of Art, Sonje Museum of Contemporary Art, and Ho-Am Art Museum.
