Hoh Woo Jung represents his own pure abstraction by consistently exploring infinite possibilities and moderate variations found in the most fundamental combination of lines and faces. He collects images of various objects that emerge with interest in events and thoughts in modern society and expresses the meaning and the hidden side of them in the form of paintings.

The main keyword that features Hoh Woo Jung's work so far is the hidden side. He reveals the hidden side of something through a relationship that could not be accurately defined, such as light and shadow, foreground and background, and individuals and the whole. In his work, various different objects and figures unite, eventually arriving at a state of balance. Such images combining elements of uncertainty, tension, balance and imbalance function as a mechanism through which the artist portrays a sense of anxiety, emptiness and desolateness one habitually confronts in contemporary society. The actual forms of objects have been removed in Hoh's recent work in which the compositions are constructed solely with lines and curves. Surprisingly, such extreme simplicity invites the viewer deeper into the work clarifying the subordinate relationship between the subjects. Recently, Hoh focuses on the work of capturing patterns on the canvas in various colors. By embedding lines that appear to be part of the pattern on the canvas as a limited space, He lets the viewers imagine infinity outside the canvas and explore the relationship between an individual and a whole.

Woojung Heo has been realizing pure abstraction, reproducing infinite possibilities and understated variations in the most basic combination of line and surface. He collects and explores images of various objects that come to mind with an interest in the events and accidents that occur in contemporary society, and expresses their multilayered meanings and other aspects in the form of paintings.

The keyword that runs through He's work to date is the other side. The artist reveals the other side through relationships that cannot be precisely divided, such as light and shadow, foreground and background, object and whole. Based on this keyword, the artist has been exploring how to look at an object from the inside and outside, to find and express blind spots, and how the represented object reveals another side in front of the viewer. In particular, the artist captures the heterogeneity and distance from everyday life implied by the ambiguous and philosophical sentences created by the state of things or the combination of conceptual words, and recreates a screen where geometric objects and shapes are balanced together. His oil paintings are composed of thin, continuous lines on a neutral or multicolored background. By applying two different colors sequentially on the surface of the canvas, the forms of the objects disappear, leaving only the periphery of the lines, and the compositions are described only as the sum of the lines and curves, and the extreme simplicity of his works has the effect of heightening the sense of involvement and making the dependent relationship between the objects more apparent. In recent years, the artist has been creating lines on canvas that seem to capture a part of a pattern, leading the viewer to imagine infinite lines outside the canvas, which triggers the viewer's interpretation of the relationship between individual objects and the whole.
