The unique works of Chung Chang-Sup have been called “unpainted paintings,” in which he molds traditional Korean paper known as tak after soaking it in water. A unique characteristic of Chung's work is that pigments are not added to the paper pulp; his works are byproducts of the artist's perseverance and the physical changes undergone by the paper medium when soaked in water. The discrete, muted tones that manifest in the works are based on the length of time the paper is soaked in water before being applied with handmade glue onto the canvas support. Chung’s work reflects his Taoist belief that an artist's practice must balance manmade materials and nature in a unified act of making, ultimately seeking the essential value of man through nature. The artist's choice medium of tak, which is made out of mulberry bark and serves as an embodiment of the simplicity of nature, is an essential element within his practice to facilitate his endeavor to imbue formal qualities in the beauty of coexisting with nature and its rules. Chung effectively delivered his belief in what he termed as the “unity between the thing and the self” through his works, based on the ideology of union with nature, one of the most resonant themes of the Dansaekhwa movement.
Chung Chang-Sup was the subject of a major retrospective at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon, in 2010. He has also been widely exhibited in group exhibitions including When Process becomes Form: Dansaekhwa and Korean Abstraction in collaboration with the Boghossian Foundation, Brussels (2016), Dansaekhwa, an official Collateral Event in the 56th Venice Biennale (2015), Dansaekhwa: Korean Monochrome Painting at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon (2012), Korean Abstract Painting_10 Perspectives at Seoul Museum of Art (2012), Korean Abstract paintings: 1958-2008 at Seoul Museum of Art (2008), Working with Nature: Traditional Thought in Contemporary Art from Korea at Tate Liverpool (1992), and the 8th Bienal de São Paulo (1965).
정창섭은 닥을 물에 불린 후 주무르고 반죽하는 과정을 거치며 제작하는 ‘그리지 않은 그림’으로 널리 알려져 있다. 물성의 변화와 인내의 결과물인 작가의 작품은 물감을 사용하지 않는 것이 특징이다. 대신 캔버스에 종이를 고정시키기 전, 종이가 불려진 시간에 따라 달라지는 명도와 채도를 통해 다양한 색감을 표현한다. 정창섭의 작품에는 인위적인 것과 자연의 진리 사이에서 균형을 맞춰 인간의 본래 가치를 추구해야 한다는 도교윤리가 반영되어 있는데, 그런 면에서 닥나무를 원료로 만든 한지인 닥종이는 자연의 소박함과 순리의 조형미를 표현하기에 적합한 소재였다. 자연과의 합일 정신을 근본으로 하는 단색화는 물아일체(物我一體)에 향한 정창섭의 믿음을 효과적으로 전달한다.
정창섭은 2010년 국립현대미술관에서 개최한 대규모 회고전을 비롯해 2016년 벨기에 보고시안 재단에서 연 《과정이 형태가 될 때: 단색화와 한국 추상미술》 특별전, 2015년 제56회 베니스 비엔날레의 병행전시로 열린 《단색화》전, 2012년 국립현대미술관 《한국의 단색화》전, 2012년 서울시립미술관 《한국추상 10인의 지평》전, 2008년 서울시립미술관 《한국추상회화: 1958-2008》전, 1992년 테이트 리버풀 갤러리의 《Working with Nature: Traditional Thought in Contemporary Art form Korea》, 1965년 제8회 상파울루 비엔날레 등 유수의 국공립 미술관 그룹전에서 작업을 선보였다.
