back to the List

Hong Soun’s experimental art encompasses various mediums and his unique perspective in art has received continuous attention from mass media which named him a postmodern leader. His art has been evolved around the philosophical idea on “part and whole’ of politics, economy, and culture, for which he purposely takes fragments from peripheral area of the image he acquired for his painting in order to talk about the whole and its inevitable misapprehension. This aspect is how he got the reputation as post modernist. Of course, Hong has experimented with object, installation, video and many others. But he moved on the traditional materials, landscape, and figures in simple composition with reserved colors creating a space where his empathic gazes are contained. In doing so, he painting opened up new chapter in the field of paintings.
