Seoul, 1969.
Hong Sung Chul
He is going to complete a master’s degree and a bachelor’s degree in sculpture at the Hongik University of Seoul, and he has just completed a master’s degree at universities integrated into the Institute of Arts of California at the State Units. Since graduating, he has exhibited several names in the Far East, the United States and Europe, and his seventh work is included in various international collections.
The work is in the form of sculptural constructions, mostly filled with murals, (although some fish are self-supporting). The sequences of elastic cords are printed with photographic images and are placed on fillers or cardboard markers. These images, from a distance, seem meaningful. In a more proper inspection, however, each copy becomes more fragmented and ephemeral, to the extent that the viewer becomes aware of its manufacturing method. This rupture in the perception of pictorial flatness creates tension.
The images are of arms and hands folded together, folded together, of sometimes manipulating a pearl thread or a piece of paper. There is an emphasis on intimacy in the representation of mutual contact and interrelation. The nature of the construction is interrupted by reference to the artist’s desire to “reanimate communication”; The interruption makes it necessary to pay attention.
Hong Sungchul’s subtle and artistic constructions raise questions about how we live in the virtual world of disconnected Vegas. The six works aim to recover a sense of intimacy, commitment and understanding. Quick and blurred perceptions are easy and examined; It reveals the rich quality and beauty of all sensitivity and quality.

Perceptual, 2006
Mirall between digital and analog.
In the various works of mirall perceptiu, fets from grid arrangements of identical LCD solar units that produce random and flickering pixel patterns, affirm this sensation of impermanence and flux constant. A possible sense of anxiety and alienation is offset by the fascinating aesthetic qualities of the new pictorial form.
