Seontae Hwang

Biography

Seontae Hwang (b. 1972, Shinan, Korea) is a Korean artist whose practice explores the relationships between light, line, space, and time. After receiving his BFA from Kyunghee University in Seoul, he continued his studies in Germany at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle, where he earned both a Diploma and postgraduate degree in Glass Art and Sculpture. Drawing on the material properties of glass and light, Hwang creates poetic spatial experiences that evoke memory, perception, and the passage of time. Through repetitive lines, transparency, reflections, and shadows, his works transform familiar spaces into contemplative environments that invite viewers to experience subtle shifts in sensation and atmosphere. He has presented numerous solo exhibitions internationally, including in Seoul, Busan, London, New York, and Vienna. His works have also been featured in major international art fairs and exhibitions such as Art Miami, EXPO Chicago, Abu Dhabi Art, and Taipei Dangdai reflecting his continued presence in the global contemporary art scene.
