Located on the 28th floor of LOTTE HOTEL WORLD, the Club Lounge is a place to enjoy elegant relaxation and pleasant social encounters while enjoying the splendid city views of Jamsil. Looking at the lounge information desk from the front, you can take in blue and beige works resembling the dark blue sky and brilliant sunlight beyond the window. These are Huh Myoung-wook’s ottchil pieces consisting of rectangular paintings coated with gold leaf at the bottom, which are somewhat different from ordinary paintings. The artist works on a canvas of metal, lacquered repeatedly with layers of ottchil. Unique “colors of the day” based on the sentiment and spirit of the moment are created by mixing natural dyes with ottchil, which are then repeatedly painted on and dried in order to complete his work. Since it is painted on dozens and even up to hundreds of times, it may take anywhere from several months to two years to finish just one piece. The most important thematic material in the world of his creations, akin to spiritual contemplation, is temporality. The “colors of the day” capturing his cathartic spiritual contemplation are applied to the same spot layer by layer in a creative expression of painting that penetrates the essence of objects.

Huh Myoung-wook uses different and diverse media, including ottchil, photographs and crafts, to create freely connected works of flat and solid shapes. It would not be a stretch to call him a photographer, metal artist, painter, or installation artist all at once. When he first got into art, he earned his income taking commercial photos by day and immersing himself in his personal creations by night. He entered university later than usual, studying metal art and continuing his creative endeavors with ottchil. The best way to describe the Huh Myoung-wook of today would be someone who draws using ottchil. Ottchil has long been used as a finishing varnish in traditional Korean crafts, woodwork and metal art. To him, it is a type of paint. The metal plates, trees and fabrics that he worked on naturally became his canvases. The solid color and gold leaf paintings have been lacquered with ottchil dozens of times over at least six months in an indoor space with a constant temperature of 28–30°C and 70% humidity throughout the year. The Eastern yet modern colors are "colors of the day” that capture the sentiment and spirit of the moment. He hopes that his ottchil works, created through repetition over time, will resonate with the viewer and impart good energy.
