His work is trying to tear up and reconstruct paint habitual vision. So that vision can be expended to other images. Yes, this style of painting you would recognize always. He paint in emotional, dark and bold way. He is BYUNGKWAN KIM from Seoul (Korea). What he would like to express through his work is to bring out strangeness from visual habit. For him, everything there is out there in this world, always provides familiar vision. He takes images of Hollywood stars, and breaks their image with scribbles and smears of paint with acrylic on paper. They remind of monsterized depictions like caricatures, made by a crazy person. As a young boy, he spent most of his days to draw favorite cartoon characters. He always have a sense of delight drawing something, and he keep drawing like crazy. He want to extract the shape never designed. His work process is just like that: as soon as he get a subject, he draw the image without any sketch.
