Photographer Hwang Munseong, Who Has Focused on Portraits, Holds Photo-Painting Exhibition

Experimental Attempt at the Meeting of Photos and Paintings
Expression of Donghae's Unique Plasticity

Photographer Hwang Mun-seong, who has focused on portrait photography and pioneered his own unique field, will hold a 'Photo-Painting Exhibition' starting from the 16th.

For over 20 years, Hwang has attempted to integrate photographed images and paintings on a single canvas. This experimental work explores whether photographic images taken from nature and images drawn by humans can meet and merge.

The photographs mainly emphasize abstraction, and the artist is interested in what kind of artistic harmony can be achieved through the painting imagined by the artist from the photographed images.

In particular, this work objectifies the scent of life blooming amidst the fierce waves and storms of the East Sea as a scenic element. Through free brushstrokes and thick paint clumps composing the canvas, Hwang realized a unique form that abstractly captures the rough yet sensitive East Sea.

Hwang Mun-seong's Photo-Painting Exhibition will be held from April 16 to 30 at 'Gallery Luha' on the 2nd floor of Aseong Building, 167 Yangjaecheon-ro, Gangnam-gu.
