Born in Seoul in 1968, Kyoung Tack Hong holds B.F.A in painting from Kyoungwon University. Hong depicts the obsessive desire of contemporary men, who represent the artist himself, in various patterns through collections of specific objets such as pens, books. He questions about the difference between spirit-world and pop culture, and high quality and low quality in the present society. In his works, repetitive and gradually increasing images look like identical and mechanical repetition but each painted objects are assigned with unique forms and colours. Each piece congregates and formulates into one ambience. Mixing elegance and vulgarness, purity and popularity, Hong deals about the meaninglessness of distinguishing those characteristics. Currently, the artist does not limit his creating activity into paintings only but extends his working scope to video as well.
