Author Biography

Hwang Ouchul is a prolific and influential painter, sculptor, writer/director and poet. He has created more than 2000 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of abstract painting, drawing, calligraphy, sculpture, ceramics, children’s illustrated books, poetry and imagery, as well as screenplay. His invited solo exhibitions have been presented at various galleries and museums such as the Ilmin Museum of Art in South Korea, the Duolun Museum of Modern Art in China, the Hokkaido Modern Art Museum in Japan, and the Queen’s Gallery in Thailand. His works are widely collected by museums, galleries and private collectors. Since 2009, He has stared his collaboration with Dr. Wen-Shing Ho on film projects including fiction shorts and features Red, Water, Thief, Mother’s Lullaby, The King My Father, Takao Dancer, Vincent, Duck Painter and I Am Beautiful (In development). The Variety Tokyo Film Review says “…the director’s restless imagination keeps “Takao Dancer” from becoming the over- familiar romantic meller its plot basics would suggest the tone unpredictably lurches from farce to thriller and beyond. While Hwang’s colourful abstract paintings are perhaps the most conspicuous visual element in a presentation that often verges on cinematic collage. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Seoul National University in Korea, graduate credits from New York University, and MFA at the School of Art and Design at Pratt Institute, USA. He completed Doctor of Science studies from Global Information and Telecommunication Studies at Graduate Waseda University in Tokyo Japan.
