Hyungmin Moon

by numbers series : New Yorker 2009, 2010, Painting on canvas, 150 x 150 cm

Biography: Hyungmin Moon was born in 1970, majored in fine art at Pasadena Art Center College of Design and graduated from the Graduate School of California State University. Moon casts doubts on social phenomena taken for granted, i.e., systems, custom, conventional wisdom and unconditional beliefs, and observes by whom and how these aspects are created and changed as well as their effects from the most objective perspective possible so as to give audiences some room to think and analyze for themselves. Moon’s elaborate works characterized by vivid colors and simple but sophisticated structures spontaneously appeal to the eyes of audiences, who in turn answer the questions raised by the artist

문형민은 1970년 태어났으며, 패서디나 아트센터 칼리지 오브 디자인에서 순수미술을 전공하고 이후 캘리포니아 주립대학교 대학원을 졸업하였다. 작가는 당연하게 받아들여지고 있는 사회 현상들, 예를 들면, 제도나 관습, 통념, 맹목적 신념들에 대한 의구심을 바탕으로, 이러한 것들이 누군가에 의해 어떻게 만들어지고 변화되어가는지, 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 관찰하고, 최대한 객관적인 자세를 견지하며 작업한다. 관객들에게 스스로 생각하고 해석할 수 있는 기회를 제공하기 위함이다. 선명한 색감과 단순하고 세련된 구조를 가진 완성도 높은 작품을 통해 일차적으로 시각적 관심을 유도한 후, 작가가 던진 주제에 대한 질문에 관객이 답할 수 있게 하는 공통된 작업 방식을 보이는 이유이기도 하다
