Soo Hong
Art Mediums: Painting, Mural, video
Soo Hong is a Bellevue, WA based artist, born in Seoul, Korea. Hong constantly moved and had been cast into unfamiliar cultural environments living in five different countries. Not deeply rooted in a particular country or culture, she longed for her identity. To find her true voice, Hong went to London and studied visual communication at Central Saint Martins College of Arts after studying furniture design in Korea. Fashioning a dreamlike and fuzzy atmosphere, her painting has developed from her illustration style. Her work has shifted towards abstract paintings using vibrant colors, mark-making, and automatic techniques. Her work has been shown in galleries, museums, and fairs in seven countries. She has been awarded from D&AD (London), GAP (Seattle) and Bellevue Arts Program (Bellevue). Currently, she is enrolled in Washington State Public Artist Roster and Shorelake Artist Roster.
