Born in 1969 in Seoul, Hong Sungchul completed a Sculptur e B.F.A at Hongik University in Seoul (1994) before finishing another M.F.A in Integrated Media at the California Institute of the Arts (2001). Hong Sungchul fully embraces modern technology and combines various medias in his works, often emphasizing interaction with his audience. In his most famous series, titled “String Mirror,” the artist prints images of people onto elastic strings to create ghostly threedimensional sculptures, which communicate a deep desir e for human contact in society. By developing wide range of works in various interactive media, Sung Chul aims to generate relationships and reanimate communication with stunning visual effects that overthrow traditional forms of art. In recent years, Hong Sung-Chul has held solo exhibitions such as: “The Figure in Art – Exhibit A” (2015, New York), “Solid but Fluid - HADA” (2012, London), “Solid but Fluid –Gallery IHN” (2011, Seoul); “Korean Collective Basel” (2011, Basel); and participated in two group exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery in London, “Korean Eye 2012” and “Eyezone 2014,” respectively. His works are in the collections of numerous institutions, including the Seoul Museum of Art, MMCA (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea), and the Boghossian Foundation in Brussels.
