하원 Ha Won
하원은 종이, 렌티큘러, LED 등 다양한 재료의 물성을 탐구하며, 평면, 입체, 영상 설치, 융합매체를 넘나드는 실험적 작업을 통해 인간과 자연(환경), 시간과 장소, 전체와 부분, 보편성과 개별성 간의 관계를 시각화해왔다.
그의 작업은 장르의 경계를 유연하게 확장하는 조형 언어로 관람자에게 인식의 전환을 유도하며, 동시대 예술의 복합성과 감각의 다층성을 경험하도록 한다.
2001년부터 울산대학교 미술학부 교수로 재직하며, 예비 예술가들의 창의적 성장과 지역 문화예술 생태계의 발전을 위해 꾸준히 활동하고 있다.
Ha Won is an artist whose experimental practice explores the material properties of diverse media—including paper, lenticular prints, and LEDs—across two-dimensional works, sculpture, video installation, and hybrid formats. Her work visualizes the relationships between humans and nature (or the environment), time and place, the whole and the part, and the universal and the individual.
With a transdisciplinary visual language that traverses boundaries, Ha encourages viewers to reconsider perceptual frameworks and engage with the layered complexity of contemporary art.
Since 2001, she has been a professor in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Ulsan, actively contributing to the creative growth of emerging artists and the development of local culture and the arts.
