Nuova nascita (New Birth)

A successful experiment forms the theoretical foundation of Hwang’s sculpture: the attempt to unite calculation and imagination within the sphere of art, the strength of numbers and the strength of spirit. 

From this emerges a hymn to nature, where rounded forms open to welcome water — a primary element that harmoniously accompanies the stone — through which a ray of sunlight filters, reflecting and refracting itself. 

Science and imagination merge perfectly in this work, deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, where body becomes spirit and spirit is made of body.

Seu Woo Hwang is originally from South Korea. He graduated from Art High School in 1979 and obtained a degree in Fine Arts from Young-Nam University in 1984. 

He began exhibiting in his homeland, but soon moved to Italy, where he achieved increasing success. He has participated in numerous symposia and art fairs in Italy, Korea and Israel, frequently earning top awards.
