The Sunbathing Women

**Feel Me Flow** channels the vibrant energy of my summers growing up in New Jersey. The large canvas pulses with dynamic motion and color, capturing the heat and rhythm of city life in the summertime. This piece is a visual expression of the flow of time, experience, and movement through the urban environment, where moments are fluid, and everything feels alive.

  
At the heart of the painting is a glowing orb, radiating shades of blue that ripple outward, blending into neon pinks and icy blues that evoke the sweltering heat of the city. Sharp, angular forms intersect with these flowing shapes, representing the balance between structure and chaos, much like the architecture of the urban landscape itself.

  
The splashes of color and fluid drips embody the carefree joy and relentless pace of summer in the city—whether it's the hum of the streets, basketball games on the court, or the simple freedom of a long, hot day. _Feel Me Flow_ is my personal ode to the rhythm of urban life, capturing the energy, nostalgia, and culture that have shaped my creative journey.

Escape from the big distraction

My paintings were supposed to be shown at the IMF(International Monetary Fund). 
The show was intended for the special event that was supposed to happen. 
The whole event was supposed to introduce Korean heritage, and my passport series, which depicts my culture and cultural identity was the ideal fit for the show. 
However, due to the Covid-19 everything has stopped and it has impacted in the most unexpected way. 

All paintings are 36 x 48 inches.


Unseen

2020 feels different and it is different compare to any other years.
The reality of human-ness revealed itself with hatred and discrimination.
As a minor living abroad, it is a tough time to face. 
As a painter, I believe art speaks the truth and it holds such a power to contain a message. 

My work depicts the culturally dislocated moment that is inspired by the South Korean's passport.
The passport itself offers a rich cultural context through patterns and colors. At the same time it speaks my identity as a Korean. 

I dissect each pattern, choose one and exaggerate it then treat them as if it's an emoji. 

Systemic Change

My work is a result of an exploration of the gap between painting and sculpture. Working in both two-dimensional painting and three-dimensional sculptural painting allowed a distinct and inclusive approach.

Abstract is present, composed on the surface by painting and constructing with the use of dislocated forms, layers and vivid colors that are referenced by South Korean passport. A non-narrative context of the sculptural painting is a metaphorical reference of moving from place to place, which is coupled with cross-experience of living in both Korea and America. 

As a culturally dislocated artist, I recognize these concepts of ‘home’ and ‘being welcomed’ were blurred and unknowing. These concepts allude to a full curiosity to express a sense of space and movement into a visual form, which echoes into a sense of new start in a new place. 

The work process demands to recreate and revisit the moment into a visual form that is woven with multiple layers, lines, geometric/organic shapes, and mark-making. I compose through coats of vivid paints to show my internal inquiries to external projection. I let my instincts to arrange, stack, and layer each dislocated elements and construct a sense of space on an untreated surface.

This painting is a freeform ode to cubism and abstraction, colors and shapes meld together to make a painting with no particular beginning or endpoint.

A Study Of Colors, Shapes, & Flow

As one of my early cubist pieces, this painting experiments with deconstruction of the human face into many shapes and colors.

Hidden Figures

The woman in blue is a cubist painting meant to invoke sadness and beauty. The subject is is poised in a blue dress while in a deep state of emotion, the grey background invokes a sadness and stillness, drawing the viewer to the beauty of the blue dress and the emotions on the subjects face.

Woman In Blue

The women is a simple cubist free form painting that has a very simple subject. The more rounder and non sharp shapes are a representation of femininity and come together with the abstract subjects faces in the painting to create a a a simple abstract painting.

The Women

This painting is a cubist self portrait of how I see myself. different shapes and bright colors mesh into one to create a colorful piece that best represents the creativity and boldness I want to show in my art.

Self Portrait(Cubist Form)

Erased Identities

The painting Untitled( Blue Period), is inspired by the loss of self. Different shades of blue to symbolize different stages of loss, featureless faces and arms melded into each other as one, bonded together by the uncertainty of where each subject stands in the world.

Untitled(Blue Period)

Untitled( A Study Of Three Faces) is inspired by the Japanese proverb called mitsu no kao, the three sides of a person. In this cubism painting the faces represent different sides to a person, but are meshed together to be the sum of the subject as a whole.

**As We Enter** represents the threshold of new beginnings and uncharted territories. With bold shapes and vibrant colors, the piece captures the energy and excitement of stepping into the unknown. The layered geometric forms symbolize doors opening and pathways emerging, while the dynamic lines suggest movement and momentum. This painting is a visual invitation to embrace change, confront challenges, and explore what lies beyond.

As We Enter

**Shadowboxin'** takes on a larger scale, both in size and intensity, representing the internal battles we face within ourselves. The title, inspired by the concept of shadowboxing, reflects the constant back-and-forth of mental, emotional, and physical struggles that shape our lives. The bold forms and sharp contrasts between dark and vibrant colors create a visual duel between light and shadow, mirroring the highs and lows that come with personal growth.

  
The layered patterns evoke the rhythm and flow of a boxer’s movements, constantly shifting between defense and attack. With its expansive canvas and professional-grade materials, _Shadowboxin'_ represents a new level of refinement and maturity in my work, capturing the balance between control and chaos, all while keeping the energy and raw emotion of the streets.

  

Shadowboxin'

**Dig It** reflects the gritty reality of urban life—its struggles, its raw beauty, and its complexities. This piece is a direct response to the idea of digging deep, not just into one’s own experience but into the layered environments we all live in. The bold colors and sharp angles represent the hard truths that are often uncovered when we truly explore beneath the surface. The chaotic, yet structured composition mirrors the pulse of the streets and the constant motion of life in the city. _Dig It_ is a visual exploration of resilience, defiance, and the unearthing of hard truths.

Dig It

**Backdraft** captures the raw, explosive energy that lies just beneath the surface of urban life. Inspired by the sudden burst of energy that follows when contained pressure is released, the painting reflects the volatility and intensity of the struggles we face—both internal and external. The fiery reds and deep blacks create a sense of heat and tension, while the sweeping forms represent the push and pull of power, control, and resistance.

  
The dynamic composition evokes a feeling of movement and combustion, as if something is about to break free. With larger, professional-grade canvases, _Backdraft_ showcases the evolution of my technique and exploration of scale, offering viewers a glimpse into the forces that drive us forward, even when we feel consumed by the flames.

  

Backdraft

**Push** captures the internal battles and the drive to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles. This piece reflects the constant tension between frustration and progress, where problems feel overwhelming yet push us toward innovation and growth. The layers of the painting mirror the struggles I’m currently climbing, each layer representing challenges swallowed, learned from, and ultimately overcome. The bold, sharp lines contrast with fluid sprays, symbolizing both the resistance and the breakthroughs. _Push_ is my visual testament to resilience—the energy of pushing through, rising up again, and celebrating small victories along the way.

Push

"Vital Nerve" serves as a comprehensive roadmap to the functional anatomy of the nervous system, both within the human body and within urban environments. 

  
It represents the creative, positive, and vibrant energy that permeates through diverse subcultures cohabitating within a city. 

  
The artwork invites viewers to delve deeper into their own inner vitality and creativity, sparking contemplation and inspiration. Recognizing how connected everything really is.

Vital Nerve

Created just prior to Valentine’s Day… 

The painting dives deep into the complexities of love. It's about the unexpected twists and turns love takes us on, the highs and lows that come with it.

  
"Running From Love" symbolizing the journey we take in pursuit of love. It's a reflection on why we often find ourselves running towards or away from love, despite its unpredictability.

With vibrant colors and dynamic composition, this piece invites you to explore your own relationship with love and the choices you make along the way.

  
Thanks for joining me on this journey. I hope this artwork sparks some introspection and contemplation in your own life.

  

Running From Love

This piece is all about **capturing the energy and vitality** of urban life. Picture **towering skyscrapers** rising above the **bustling city streets**, each containing **countless** stories and experiences,all **coexisting within its walls**.

  
With "CITY HIGH," I want to **evoke a sense of awe and wonder**, inviting you to explore the layers of color and texture that make up the cityscape. Whether you're drawn to the bright colors or intrigued by the hidden depths **"CITY HIGH"** invites you to take a **closer look and discover something new with each viewing**.

  
Thanks for joining me on this journey through the urban landscape. I hope this painting sparks your curiosity and inspires you to see the beauty in the chaos of city living.

  

City High

This is my latest creation titled, "Worlds Collide."

This painting dives into the clash of realities found in city life, and is inspired by the beauty born from that friction.

  
The perspective-based composition encourages you to delve deeper, to explore its layers. While the vibrant colors and diverse textures spark a dialogue between opposing elements, symbolizing the interconnectedness of humanity in urban settings.

  
This painting invites you on a journey of discovery and contemplation. I do hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

  

Worlds Collide

In **Come Clean**, I dive into themes of truth and authenticity. The piece explores the duality of confronting inner battles and releasing the weight of external pressures. The intricate layers of this work reflect the layers of self we often hide or protect, while the bright contrasts signify the clarity that comes with truth-telling and self-expression. Bold geometric shapes emerge from the softer tones, suggesting that confronting our problems and challenges head-on often leads to moments of personal evolution. _Come Clean_ invites viewers to embrace vulnerability and lean into the discomfort that ultimately leads to growth.

Come Clean

Life throws obstacles in every direction—sometimes, all I want to do is scream. But I’ve learned that screaming only pushes me further from where I need to be. Instead, I channel that energy and remind myself: problems drive change. They push us forward. They spark creativity and innovation.

  
This piece is a reflection of the layers of challenges I’ve faced. The waves, contoured and stacked, are the heavy problems I’ve been climbing, swallowing, and grinding through. They leave behind scars—some call it baggage, but I call it toughness. Each layer is a testament to survival, growth, and the resilience that nothing can break. Just like in the city where we live—so many people, so many stories, and so many problems—but we’re all climbing our own mountains.

  
_“Problems”_ is a visual reminder that nothing can stop me. Despite it all, I always climb back up. I rise, and I thrive. Those moments of pushing forward, they’re victories I celebrate, every single time.

Problems

This painting takes you straight into the whirlwind of my ADHD mind—chaotic, layered, and alive with energy. It’s how I approach goals: so many ideas and thoughts colliding at once, but somehow, I find a rhythm and stay locked in on the fly.

  
The title draws inspiration from the Jungle Brothers’ track _Brain_, with a lyric that captures this feeling perfectly: _“I got so much funky shit inside my brain. I couldn’t explain. You wouldn’t understand.”_

  
This piece is about the beauty of that unexplainable process. It’s a kaleidoscope of movement and color—a snapshot of what it’s like inside my head when creativity is in overdrive. It’s a tribute to the funky, electric energy that drives me as an artist.

"Untitled" is a manifestation of self-observations in the spaces and monuments I moved around. From the conversations with friends, to the observations in his daily life, I used an Oak tree as the main monument for this composition. collage enabled him to point out these overlapping events that took place in his life in order to find their junction.

Influenced by my own queer experience and ideals of mid-century American culture, the project investigates a familiar environment that alludes to something more enigmatic. Creating vignettes of this space and time allows for the images to exist in reality or remain fictitious. 

Film, in short, is cultural performance. Those of the 1950s’ and 60’s influence much of my work, particularly in the way that our culture has or has not shifted. Looking specifically at masculinity as a way to question our ideas of gender or more so the performance of masculinity in juxtaposition to our current political landscape. 


Initially making work about control of the environment, I am able to create a safe space for the narrative to unfold; purposely diverting from what we may consider conventional. The characters become distant protagonists as the work allows the viewer to respond as a voyeur.

This work is an oil painting that depicts a pond near my place that I visited. I was drawn in to the beauty of water and the greenary around it. The shapes and lines are exaggerated to create a more painterly texture and suggest more bodily forms.
