Hongil Yoon's paintings bridge the trace of space and mobility of memory by visualising the moment of oblivion. Oblivion is not static and dynamic; it is the constant moment of disappearance. He grasps that phenomenon of memory in our brain through his practice and attaches them to the static medium of painting. The juxtaposed images with stable and unstable compositions in a surrealistic style enhance this sense of disorder.


Otherwise, he transferred the prototypes he is geometrically structured and fragmented using the digital edit program to the nostalgic style of painting on canvas. In his process of constructing prototypes, at first, images were visualised by his written poems or short stories. The scenes in his writing practice were ambiguous at the transformation stage, permeating into memories like parts of prototypes and certain skins in this room in 'Matt's Apartment' (2022).
