Hyeongtae Moon taps into his aesthetic vision by focusing on the various aspects of a daily routine.
He examines moments of existence which most of us take for granted. He sees his painting as a type of
diary in which he records the minutia of our day. Moon takes these moments and expands and enlivens
them through distorted shapes and assaults of color. He doesn't just paint reality, Moon transforms it through
his creative vision.
Moon's work strives to combine aspects of reality and dreams. His confession that a canvas without any
dreaming is a world of possibility for everything to be drawn is reasonable. The artist shows toys beyond
reality and ideal as not missing the fun of a playful child. That realistic images can sprout and flourish in
a non-realistic world. As Hyeongtae Mon has stated, 'Life is always interlinked with realistic pains and
non- realistic hopes. My paintings, which expose daily routines, are defined as a symbolic expression which
emotion is imported into time and place.'
