Appreciation towards Gallery All + Chulan Kwak for providing the following description:

Gallery All与来自韩国首尔的艺术家Chulan Kwak合作，共同打造出这个以草书为原型的系列艺术品。一直以来，Chulan Kwak都致力于通过探索“形式”和材料来进行艺术创作。受到中国书法中草书的启发，Chulan Kwak设计了一个名为“草书桌椅”的艺术品系列，以有机、复杂精致的现代设计形式将传统元素淋漓尽致地表现了出来。

Gallery All is pleased to announce our collaboration with Chulan Kwak. Based in Seoul, South Korea, Kwak has been practicing his way to give “forms” to concepts along with material exploration. Inspired by traditional Chinese cursive calligraphy, Kwak’s Cursive Structure collection investigates the traditional elements in an organic, sophisticated form of contemporary design.

在中国的书法中，草书可以说是最为简写和潦草的一种字体了。Kwak以草书为灵感，将一系列汉字的二维笔画重组为了三维结构。这些三维结构有虚有实，极具韵律感。如同草书就像是一条在天空中自由翱翔的巨龙一般， Kwak所创造出的“草书桌椅”系列也具有相同意境；同时得益于其不规则的外观造型，随着人们位置移动，这些艺术品会呈现出完全不同的景象，真正地达到了移步换景的效果。

为了将这种自由的曲线形式百分之百地呈现出来，Kwak在本项目中借助了纸张工艺。他首先通过3D建模软件创建出三维模型，再将模型展开，从而得到准确的图形轮廓，之后再以这个轮廓为模板，通过CNC技术来切割轻薄且可弯曲的胶合板以得到最终的板材零件，最后再将这些板材按照正确的顺序依次组装在一起。

Inspired by Caoshu, a Chinese cursive brush-writing movement known as the most abbreviated typeface in the calligraphy to-date, Kwak restructures the 2D stroke of Caoshu, which seemed to run the blank space rhythmically, into the 3D structure. As the free flow of Caoshu resembles the appearance of a dragon that seems to fly through the sky, Kwak established the Cursive Structure that functions as well as creating a contrast between the object and margin of space that changes according to the viewpoint.

In order to realize this free curved form, Kwak applies the technique of papercraft to woodwork. He first creates the form through 3D software and then unfolds it to extract the accurate drawing. He used this method to precisely cut thin and bendable plywood with a CNC machine and to adhere to the edges of each part correctly in order.

Kwak将数字化建模工具与手工制作工艺相结合，在现实世界中创造出一系列具有自由曲线的实体结构，这些曲线十分平滑和自然，完美得仿佛只存在于虚拟空间之中。在结构组装好后，Kwak会用写书法的墨汁对其进行染色，以得到最终的成品。

The combination of the digital tool and craftsmanship has enabled him to create solid forms of free curves in the real world, such as those made in the virtual space. They were finished after dyeing with Muck, ink used for Chinese brush-writing, for the deep black color.
