Hwang Wonhae rediscovers the exterior elements of the buildings that constitute urban landscapes and expressively breathes life into the spatiality (i.e. narratives and history) embedded in them. By repeatedly adding, spilling, and wiping paint on the canvas, she builds multiple layers to capture its ever-changing internal and external dynamism. In particular, Hwang's recent works follow the changes in the center of her focus that gradually shift from a superficial representation of the physical phenomena to an exploration of the formative expression that utilizes her unique pictorial gestures.

Hwang Wonhae re-sensitizes the surface elements of the buildings that make up the cityscape and expressively depicts a series of inherent sense of place (stories and history). By repeatedly applying, spilling, and wiping paint on the canvas, the artist builds up multiple layers, creating a dynamic inside and outside that is not fixed but constantly changing. In particular, as seen in her recent works, the artist is gradually shifting the center of gravity of her work from superficial reproduction of physical phenomena to exploring formability through her unique painterly gestures.
