The aesthetics of Hong Sooyeon is characteristic of harmony, balance and solemnity. Organic forms shown on her works is made with tilting around the canvas on which paints are dropped. Hong diffuses paints differed in transparency, slope and density on the canvas, and by doing this process repetitively overlaps layers of paints. With her unique technique, her work implies the delicate nuance of black and white in color.
