In 2011, Kyu-Tae Hwang donated 60 works to Seoul Museum of Art. The new exhibition consists of new works and donated pieces to shed light one his art world during last 40 years.
Starting with black and white photograph, Hwang has developed independent world of work beyond a limit of photography since he moved to the United States. Using other people's images as well as own works, the artist started creating controlled surreal images like 'burning film,' 'borrowing images', and 'montage.' Such works with innovativeness got great attention in the United States. From early montage series, digital montage, 'burning' series, extended pixel work, to new work 'banner' series, the exhibition shows his free thought and superior sense.
