Chung T-Yong's work extends beyond sculpture, installation, and two-dimensional media. The central theme in his art is “Contatto” (Contact), which is also the name of his two-dimensional series.

For Chung, "Encounter" transcends merely the subject matter of his art and influences his entire creative process. He begins with ancient Roman sculptures, often sourced from Italian flea markets or antique shops, as the foundation for his work.

Drawing from his own ethos, he then shaves sections of the sculptures, polishes them, and transforms these incidental objects into pieces that link the past and the present. This method aligns with the Arte Povera movement, which thrived in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s. Just as these artists explored new artistic languages using everyday materials, Chung T-Yong's work enters a new phase, crossing boundaries of time and culture.
