Sooyeon Hong 2007 _ Gallery Bundo_ Daegu

Sooyeon Hong creates unique forms where multiple layers of translucent membranes interpenetrate over a monochromatically painted canvas. These shapes, which sway and drift like clouds, are born from an exquisite blend of acrylic paint, small amounts of pigment, and various types of transparent mediums.

In this sense, Hong can be called an alchemist who experiments repeatedly with tireless persistence and passion. By allowing liquid of precisely controlled viscosity to flow across the surface using gravity, she forms color layers that emit a mysterious radiance before her very eyes. This phenomenon can be described as the crystallization of flowing time, achieved through a fateful union of coincidence and intention.
