Colorist of that which sparkles, musician of that which is visible, contemplative weaver, Shin sung-hy intertwines Eastern tradition and western research, density and void. He weaves various and extreme colors. Experienced painter and alert researcher, energetic and meditative, passionate and attentive, dynamic and penetrating, methodical and intuitive, he analyses the incandescence of intense colors, their vivacity, their culminating points, their gaiety.

He give his works discreet and evocative titles; Structures, Painting-space, solution to continuity, intertwinements, Microcosm, Towards a space, Spatial painting, Object. His works have crossed out of the bounds of the flat surface. They straddle the second and third dimensions, surface and volume, flat and depth, painting and sculpture. Without saying it forthright, they evoke, perhaps, a fourth dimension: time.
