About the Item

SungYong Hong, in calling his current series of images "Heuristic," offers a clue to the meaning behind the work, but as much as it reveals an idea, it conceals as well. Heuristic refers to a method of study, or learning, whereby the tools of deduction, and trial and error, lead the investigator to a discovery. In SungYong Hong's art, the tools are numerous and the discoveries are many. In his lenticular prints, depths and layers emerge in striking three-dimensional images, where circles and whorls of bright colors jump out of a black ground. The artist started his creative career as a photographer, using the camera to record images around him. His development in technique and imagery evolved, leading him to interests in optics, science, computer technologies and printing methods. As is often the case, the road he set out upon led him in directions he may not have planned at the outset. He has arrived to a body of work that relates strongly to the Op-Art movement of the 1960s and its current resurgence in contemporary art. In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art presented The Responsive Eye, an exhibition of works which focused on optical illusions and the perceptual possibilities in relationships of certain colors. The Op-Art movement was born, and grew to include important modern artists like Josef Albers, Victor Vasarely, Frank Stella and Ellsworth Kelly. Like these earlier artists, SungYong Hong's work explores the relationships of color, depth of field, and the inherent possibilities and limitations intwo-dimensional works. In his series, "Heuristic," and his earlier group of works titled "Noise"& “Darkness” on exhibition at LYNN Fine Art Gallery, Hong delves into explorations of the way the brain records images. In doing so, he taps into the deep recesses of the human psyche and consciousness as it develops, and even as it slips back into the void. Hong states that part of his work is an attempt to explore the visions that exist beyond the eye's capacities. His vibrant hues pop off the background, leaving behind the two-dimensional surface, as if that flatness, not his images, were the illusion. Interestingly, the series "Noise” brings a sense of meditative silence, and "Heuristic" engages the viewer in an exploration for which no definitive answer can be found. In these works at Art plus & Lynn Fine Art Gallery, SungYong Hong performs the task only the artist can to pose questions that are unanswerable and to create sensations that exist beyond the experiential.
