My name is HyunHo Hwang and I've been drawing, painting, sculpturing and designing over 30years of my life. I've taught university students in Art University in South Korea. I currently live in Sydney, Australia and runs Art Studio teaching students. Although I've been teaching the students until now, I want to challenge myself to express my own artwork to the audience. I have won a “Merit” award from ‘Black and white’ in April 2019. Art is significant in my life and I will continuously work on it in futures as well. * Glow is the beginning of darkness or the beginning of brightness. This portrays conflict, as these two movements coexist. If one of these two movements aren’t shown, there can’t be another one and lots of things happen between them. Only when the various forms of life coexist and diversity is respected, this beautiful balance can be achieved and you and I can go together as beautiful companions on this earth. You are on that side, so I do not lean on the other, so I live together. I believe that coexistence does not end when you fail, but ends when you give up.

Statement:

It is for me to recognize Nature’s magic: to reveal what magnificence of of forms discover the dynamics that lies within. And my bronze sculptures are also a summary for the concept of Nature’s values because are very durable, able to withstand the elements for many years when properly prepared. Finally, the ability to use corrosive materials to create a patina allows to create a vibrant coating, because bronze is an incredibly important historical art medium for sustainable sculpture.
