Explanation
Reflection 2 is one of Hong Kyoungtack’s representative works. As the title connotes, this work includes introspection of the world and humans. Instead of sharp pencils, shiny metal golf clubs repeatedly expand. On a background reminiscent of the universe, golf clubs are dense like chrysanthemums, and the shining head of the golf clubs contain the artist’s self-portrait.

Early 'Still life' Series
Hong Kyoungtack began his series of "Still life" paintings in the 1990s
when he was in his third year of university. He realized that our lives
and the things around us are similar in that they are transient,
so he started painting objects made of plastic.
In the context of the accumulation of not only materials but also still lifes,
it shows an early work in which lightness and heaviness,
pleasure and pain, color and black and white, pattern and realism intersect.

His art material, ‘pen,’ may seem too simple,
but the artist deals with modern people’s dual and
obsessive desires with allegories of skulls and dolls
appearing in the form of pen caps,
a stacked screen composition,
and the seriousness of writing mood.

The bookshelf, which seems to be closed, is filled
with smooth-texture books, single portraits,
and icons of traditional paintings.
