Biography<\/h2>\n

Inspired by his father, Hwang took up painting, drawing, writing, and reading great literature in his earliest childhood. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Seoul National University and has graduate credits from New York University and MFA at the School of Art and Design at Pratt Institute, USA. He completed the Doctor of Science from graduate school of Global Information and Telecommunication Studies at Waseda University in Tokyo Japan.<\/p>\n

He is a prolific and influential painter, sculptor and poet who have created over 2000 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles. They include abstract paintings, drawings, calligraphy, sculptures, ceramics, illustrated children’s books, poetry and imagery, including ‘Painter’s Dream’, ‘A King of No Kingdom’, and the full-length screenplays ‘Tear, Love, Smile’, ‘I am Beautiful’, \u2018November\u2019, \u2018Too Late Beach\u2019 and ‘I Mean It’.<\/p>\n

His work is noted for its sensory components and often reflects the activities, dreams and turbulence in his own life. During his many travels he was influenced by different kinds of people, developing a brilliance and maturity of style that encompasses the light and gracefulness along with the dark and passionate.<\/p>\n

Hwang\u2019s works have been presented at exhibitions in various galleries and museums in South Korea, Japan, China, Thailand and The Netherlands, including the Ilmin Museum of Art in South Korea, the Duolun Museum of Modern Art in China, the Hokkaido Modern Art Museum in Japan, and the Queen\u2019s Gallery in Thailand. His works are widely collected by museums, galleries and private collectors.<\/p>\n

Hwang also created films such as ‘I Mean It’, ‘A Talk’, ‘Nothing is Something’, ‘Water’, ‘The King My Father’, ‘Thief’, \u2018Vincent\u2019, and \u2018Takao Dancer\u2019. His film project ‘I am Beautiful’ was an official selection at the 2010 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival. The World\u2019s Renown film magazine VARIETY Tokyo Film Review says \u201c…the directors\u2019 restless imaginations keep \u201cTakao Dancer\u201d from becoming the over- familiar romantic meller its plot basics would suggest. The tone unpredictably lurches from farce to thriller and beyond. While Hwang\u2019s colorful abstract paintings are perhaps the most conspicuous visual element in a presentation that often verges on cinematic collage,..\u201d His film <Takao Dancer> received \u2018Best Foreign Film Award\u2019 at Heritage Film Festivals IDOLS Sofia Bulgaria 2015.<\/p>\n

As a writer\/director, his new film <VINCENT> produced in Hangzhou, China 2015, has been world widely appreciated in many international film festivals such as \u2018In Competition\u2019 at The 9th<\/sup> Padova River Film Festival Italy, \u2018Nominated as best short film world cinema\u2019 at Norway-Tamil Film Festival 2015 Norway, \u2018Official Selection\u2019 at A Long Week of Short Films Festival, Shanghai China 2015.<\/p>\n

His influence is profound. His interests and research continue to flourish in painting, drawing, sculpture and filmmaking. He taught art and filmmaking in many universities including Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Seoul National University, South Korea. He is currently a director of SNOWMAN PICTURES and teaches at USC-SJTU Institute of Cultural Creative Industry(ICCI), Shanghai, China.<\/p>\n
