About the Artist: Ran Hwang was born in the Republic of Korea and currently lives and works between Seoul and New York City. Hwang completed her BFA in Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and attended the Graduate School of Fine Arts at Chung-Ang University in Seoul. Hwang creates large iconic figures that embody her preoccupation with the nature of cyclical life, non-visibility and the beauty of a transient moment. Her earlier career in the fashion industry and the personal memories of 9/11 attack have led her to adopt the everyday materials into the delicate and dramatic works, whereas the artist's lifetime practice of Zen Buddhism has blended into the sophisticated hand-work accompanied by repetition and penance.
Hwang's work permanently resides in the collections of internationally acclaimed venues, including the Brooklyn Museum in New York, Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Deji Art Museum in Nanjing, Dubai Opera House, Des Moines Art Center in Iowa, New York University and National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul. Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Leila Heller Gallery in New York and Dubai, Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore, UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, Mass MoCA in Boston, Fondation d’entreprise Hermès in Singapore, Hakgojae Gallery in Seoul, Kashya Hildebrand Gallery in Zurich, and Facebook New York Headquarters.
