Seungwon Hong’s works are overwhelmingly female-dominated, both in fashion brands and in the world of fashion illustration. His work themed male fashion has stood out with the heavy strokes giving the painting tension, highlighting the impression of masculine rigidity. It reminds people of the traditional charcoal and oil strokes of the impressionists, which is his tribute to the artists he has admired since childhood, such as Egon Schiele, Rene Magritte and Van Gogh.

Sartorial Painting No.36 Claudio Calò
Seungwon Hong's "Sartorial Painting" series is aimed at real street people, not those on the runway or work in the fashion industry. Through his close observation of real life, his strokes are like the stitches carefully and neatly made by a tailor, with a precise insight and subtlety to create the perfect fit and style for different characters.
