Elevating the art of Classical Gyotaku, Dwight Hwang tells a story within each nature print. 

"Amazing. Just amazing."

"Working with Dwight has been so incredibly inspirational. We've been able to collaborate on ideas with layers of deep meaning to us that have been realized in his final work in ways that are far beyond what we could have ever imagined. The art, craft, care, and intent are so deep we've made what is not only an artistic relationship but also a friendship for life."

I’ve been a fan of Dwight for years. I finally got to meet him and his family when picking up his art for my home. He was gracious to give me and my family a personal demo of his art . As a professional chef for 30 years and a fisherman for over 40 I’m in awe of his art. I was so blown away I wanted his art at my new restaurant within the NBC studios. He’s a master that marries the traditions of Gyotaku with the modern era by transforming it into hospitality and culunaire

"Your artworks join a small but eclectic shoal that watch over me as I move around this small house. I shall enjoy their company and inspiration."

"The evolution of Dwight's art within the five years that I've known him is inspiring. From perfectly traditional gyotaku transformed into stories life, culture, and wisdom. The empathy felt throughout his art speaks volumes. Of course, none of this is possible without his better half, Hazel, and their son, Weston. Dwight is an amazing father, husband, and friend."

The different angles which are quite unique. However he is doing it, he is nailing it. Taking it to a new level. A craftsman and an artist.

"I was invited to Sushi Chef Institute red carpet last might and met so many important people in the industry, but one person who amazed me was Dwight Hwang and his live demonstration of how this mid 19th century art is done. His work needs to be recognized and once you see it, you'll be amazed."

Most traditional gyotaku artists, both historically and today, present a sideways, two-dimensional view of the subject. Hwang puts a modern twist on this presentation. His subjects are often seen from a three-quarters view or even above. The different angles give his fish a greater sense of motion and animation.
