Jong-Myung Hwang

Born in 1975 in South Korea. Lives and works at Dijon (France) and South Korea. 

Jong Myung Hwang, a young Korean student of Fine Art of Dijon, conducted by Yan Pei Ming, express the identity crisis of our contemporary society by being inspired by anonymous faces. His portraits are not for all that true imitations, his technical virtuosity enables him to give up with the mimicking, in order to subject his models to impercepible distortions which bring out a specific feature or to emphasize an expression without summon up any feeling.
