Hana Kwon(B. 1990), after graduating in Illustration Design from the Art Center College of Design, has been lively introducing her unique works to the Art scene, sharing thoughts and memories from the deepest and most intimate parts of herself. Visualizing fragments of her memories from the past into thoughts and feelings that are hard to express in words - a process that can be seen as meeting her other self - is the method she adapts to manage her emotions.

​

Among Hana Kwon’s works, many depict a stylized character interacting with food. The sense of taste that is vividly brought to the audience through the expressions of the  characters and the representation of the food itself, takes the viewers - with the help of emotional experiences associated with senses - back to their special moments in life. In this sense, food itself is a particular narrative, and through representations of it she’s sharing the feelings that she has captured in specific instants. 

​

Painting, for Hana Kwon, is like taking a journey to find peace in her inner world. However, her artworks also end up deeply empathizing with the audience. As a matter of fact, her works have all been well-received in recent Art Fairs such as ‘Galleries Art Fair’ not only by the young audiences, but also by viewers of various generations, proving their ability to bond with different groups of people regardless of their age. Hana Kwon has recently collaborated with “Chaumet”, a jewelry brand, and is having her solo exhibition at 2GIL29 GALLERY soon in 2023.
