Hwang Hyun Seung's paintings are characteristic of his youth and joie de vivre. While his style is hyper-realistica first glance, Hwang prefers to think of himself as a neo-Pop artist. THrough realism, it becomes possible for the artist to convey the exact characteritics of the physical world. The lines between that of a painting, idea, object and photograph are blurred. Like the earlier generation of Pop artists, Hwang's paintings recall an era of nostalgia and good, clean fun, and the advent of 20th century consumerism and popular culture.
