“TARTAROS LAND”

Japanese anime manga games are creating new cultural exchanges around the world. I worked as a figure sculptor for anime games in Japan for about 10 years. I sculpted all kinds of Japanese characters out of clay. The characters I drew as doodles back then are now being made into paintings. Idols are characters created by humans mixed with elements of civilization and nature, and they have the power to cross the world, activate interaction among people, and ease the division of the world. After the Corona disaster, the world has become increasingly divided and disparities have widened, and what is needed now is a world idol.

“Alternative Idol”

I give various meanings to the symbols of modern civilization. Characterized by the use of cartoon-like techniques such as satire and deformation, and the processing of quotations from Eastern and Western art symbols, the work tackles themes such as love, faith, civilization, and rock. The various symbols contained in Eastern and Western civilizations are mixed to explore alternative beliefs for modern people.

“AutomaticPainting”

AutomaticPainting is a collage technique I invented, which I started in 2016. It is a technique that uses the effect of visual patterns created by not making visual judgments by mixing banknotes cut to the same shape and applying them in order without looking at them (grabbing them by hand without looking at the material). Initially, I started with easily available $ bills, and later I used bills from all over the world.
