This month I would like to introduce you to the work of Keewon Hong.
  KEEWON HONGBorn in South Korea, Keewon
immigrated to America in 1983. He is a self-taught artist who has been
working in the Los Angeles area producing murals, fine art painting,
and portraiture for the past
fifteen years. His work is influenced by artists such as Caravaggio,
Rembrandt, Corrot and Inness. He strives to emphasize the feelings of
beauty and thought of each person portrayed in his figure paintings and
the quite, intimate, and sublime stillness of nature in his landscape
work. His goal is to provide an emotional experience to the viewer who
might, in return, have insightful reflections and beautiful thoughts of
their own. Keewon’s hope is that he will continue to develop his
personal style of painting as he celebrates both nature and humanity by
exploring their cyclical relationship.

Collecting Segil Fine Art Artists For the past few years in writing this newsletter, it has
been fun and educational to explore all aspects of our artistic
community and commentary that may be of interest to collectors at any
level. Each month we have introduced you to a few artists
throughout the newsletter, whether they are that month’s featured
artists or have new work in the gallery. For the next six moths,
Collector’s Corner will be devoted to introducing you to Segil Fine Art
Gallery Artists. We’ll give you an “At a Glance” look at the
artist, their style, medium and price range, then invite you to click
through to the website to read more about the artists a view all of the
work available. Our artists are both emerging and well known, and
our prices are some of the most competitive in the area. Enjoy
getting to know our artists!The First in a Series Looking at the Gallery Artists

complete his Masters degree in Fine Art and also exhibited his work in the International Art and Theater Society. In 1994-2003 he worked as a graphic designer and did many contemporary graphic logos and posters for rock signers including Cher, Paul McCartney and the Moody Blues. Vadim has also provided his graphic skills to leading companies such as “Guess, “Harley Davidson” and “Hard Rock Café.” Vadim aims to capture his “first impressions” in a limited amount of time and with a limited pallet, thus working in a “fast program” of academic drawing and paintings.
