Soo Hong is a painter whose practice explores the constant flux of identity, culture, and her surroundings. Influenced by a life lived across Seoul, London, Shanghai, and the Pacific Northwest, Hong uses fluid abstraction to express the changing relationship between memory and belonging. Her work layers transparency and texture, often incorporating traditional techniques to connect cultural heritage with contemporary visual language.
With an MA from Central Saint Martins and a background in design, Hong’s vision extends beyond the canvas into public installations. Her large-scale commissions for Meta, Google, and Cannonball Arts demonstrate her ability to transform environments into immersive sites of emotional resonance. Hong’s work serves as a meditation on the fluidity of modern life, capturing the tension between the intimacy of the human touch and the expansive global landscape.
