As the title suggests, the work reveals a point that slightly deviates from the conventions and formal structures of traditional painting. The process begins by transforming and dimensionalizing the canvas—the fundamental ground of painting—reshaping the rectangular frame into alternative forms and reconstructing the surface through the addition of colors, planes, and masses made from diverse materials. In this process, the canvas functions not merely as a support but as an independent sculptural element, generating a form that moves between painting and sculpture. By departing from the familiar methods of traditional media, the work reexamines material and structure, prompting a renewed perspective on the conventions of painting and the concept of fine art itself.

Hong Jung-Ouk is a Seoul-based artist and Associate Professor of Painting at Hong-ik University. Working at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and installation, his practice persistently interrogates the ontological conditions of the painted surface—questioning why a canvas must always be rectangular, and why it must hang on a wall. Rather than abandoning painting for three-dimensional work, Hong expands its logic outward: frames become polygons and circles, cloth is removed to expose open structures, and glass, acrylic, wire, and light are combined to create works that occupy the threshold between painting and site-specific installation. His ongoing series—INFILL, cacophony, ENTITY, and ulterior—reflect what he calls "evolution": each work finding its most optimized form through iterative material and spatial experiment. Hong holds a Ph.D. in Technology Art from Chung-Ang University, an M.F.A. from the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL (London), and degrees from Hong-ik University, Seoul.
