Drawing

Cluster of unstable black particles

Many people filling a huge space… They encounter by accident and just pass by one another but the sense of existence vanishes away into the air. Since 2013, artist Gyung-hyun Hwang has been constantly drawing the aspects of the crowd who is incessantly rambling around subway stations, terminals, tourist sites, and train stations. He intends to observe the crowd from an omniscient viewpoint standing back from them and rediscover the inherent aspects of modern-day people. By fixing the black particles on the paper, through this intense black-white contrast, artist Hwang represents the landscape and talks about inner instability of humans with remote settlement possibility as well as the ideal which subtly coexists within, from the perspective of painting. In the painting works, artist Hwang plans to keep researching on “screen” such as material property and structure of matters as well as the interpretative process of the objects and he intends to expand the work activities in a wide range of ways including utilization of middle media.
