Shin Kwangho (Hangul: 신광호) is a South Korean painter currently based in Seoul. He studied art at Keimyung University,[1] and has recently become known in the art world for his abstract portraits, which he creates using oil, acrylic, and charcoal.[2][3][4][5] He was featured in the list of "One to Watch" by Saatchi Art.

Shin's paintings depict subjects using colors that represent the subjects' emotions, with brushstrokes and layers of paint often distorting the subjects' faces while drawing attention to the eyes.[6][7][8]
