LEGO : Hangul Painting

He is a painter based in San Francisco who engages with people through the artistic language of 'doodlism'. He values freedom and dislikes being constrained by composition, lighting, colors, and other traditional artistic rules. The sketches he drew in the corner of his room depicted another self, reflecting his growth as an only child who often felt very lonely. When he scribbled, his loneliness disappeared, and the crooked lines, simple shapes, and illegible handwriting became his diary, leading him to pursue doodlism. He draws lines that are not precise, resembling those written by a young child. He uses colors and brushstrokes that come from his heart, without any formal technique. His paintings and writings, which appear childlike, transform into artworks that tell stories of shared experiences or express his own feelings. Inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat’s work, he does not want his artwork to be difficult for people to understand. Basquiat's graffiti-like paintings left a profound impression on him and conveyed deep messages, inspiring him to communicate and connect with people through simple, accessible paintings, much like sharing his diary. Therefore, he aims to make his art as easy and fun as possible. Most of his paintings lack a focal point because the multitude of emotions he experiences each day become the subject of his art. He enjoys improvising shapes and lines that deviate from their original form to create a unique artwork. He believes everyone is born an artist, and doodling is a universal language that everyone can easily express. Regardless of age, race, or gender, doodling is an innate artistic language. Hence, he believes that his use of doodlism can approach people in a familiar way, fostering a sense of "familiarity" in communication. Now, he wants to communicate with people through his diary, using familiar objects like furniture or shoes as his canvas. Through the artistic language of doodlism, he asks, 'Have you had this experience?' and 'What are the words you would like to express?'
