DIETER JUNG - THE LIGHT BEHIND

Dieter Jung orchestrates a ballet of luminosity, where colors pirouette with emotions and space harmonizes with movement. Since the mid-1960s, Jung has embarked on an alchemical exploration, deciphering the enigma of color and light, and the interplay of surface and space, each stroke illuminating an intricate thread in the tapestry of his creation. His works encapsulate radiant hues that weave narratives, and the world of holography transcends its visual boundaries, inviting us to traverse the thresholds of light and experience existence's harmonious composition. It is an immersive experience, encouraging us to discover bigger complex possibilities of being in the beauty of light and eventually connecting it to the beauty of life. In the realm of art, Dieter Jung emerges as a conductor of illumination, guiding us to perceive the universe's waltz with fresh eyes.
