Raw Hwang

Raw Hwang is a Korean woman who moved to New York to pursue her career in art. Raw Hwang specialises in wall sculptures. She does this by pinning buttons and beads on to a wall in a mass to create a picture. pictures she has done so far include birds, trees and chandeliers. Her art in influenced by Buddhist theories and she believes that people need to be able to empty their minds to be able to get enlightenment and fulfilment from her art.

I believe that Raw Hwang's wall art is beautiful. How she uses pinned buttons to make a picture seems so simple but creates something that look so amazing. Allong with her wall art she adds simple features to create more of a statement such as the cage around the bird and the light behind the chandelier. From far away they look like a full painting but when u get up close you can see the texture that the beads and buttons ad making the art seem more real.
