Soo Hong
is a visual artist working primarily in abstract painting. Having lived and exhibited worldwide, including London, Shanghai, her native South Korea, and now the United States, her experience of varying cultural norms and expectations has precipitated her observational practice. Her work serves as a visual record of her fluid thoughts that captures moments, places, and phenomena that are invisible to the naked eye.
She received her MA from Central Saint Martins College of Arts in London, UK after BA in furniture design from Hong-Ik University in Korea. She had her solo shows in Linda Hodges Gallery, AMcE Creative Arts gallery and Kirkland Arts Center. She has been awarded and received grants from D&AD (London), GAP (Seattle), Bellevue Arts Program, and was a finalist for the Neddy Award (Seattle) in painting. Her work is part of the permanent collections at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the city of Bellevue, and the city of Portland. She was commissioned from Nike, Puma, MTV, Miller, Hello Kitty, and Meta. Currently, she lives and works in Bellevue, Washington.
