Let's forget the black tattoos on arms, shoulder or chest. The Korean artist Kim Joon uses the whole body and the most varied colors. And goes further on: he groups masculine or feminine bodies intertwined in sensual positions over which he designs continuous patterns which are fused in a unique corporal mass, subdued by the design and color!
Despite his style declared a pronounced oriental stamp, Joon does not limit himself to the customary dragons and serpents. Instead, any material serves him as a pictorial pattern, whether they are floral motives, commercial brand logos or Superman comics, whose graphic potential es enormous
and is smartly explored by the artist.
For Kim Joon, the body is not only a physical form but also a canvas to express his inner creativity with the effect of 3D. All of his paintings utilize a rich color palette and uses both traditional korean patterns as well as whimsical patterns. The position of his “canvases” are sometimes sexual in nature and challenge the viewer to look deeper into the meaning of each piece His work tours around the world and is featured in several galleries.
Original work and, we dare to say, deeply human...
