Esoteric Art in Italy The Opening Night

What a great night was last night at Pinguino. We started the art event with me creating abstract paintings inspired by people's aura, personality and inner energy. For an artist is such a great opportunity.

Esoteric Art in Italy, The Beginning

Quick sketches of people's aura and inner energy captured on canvas at Gelateria Pinguino, Ferrara, Italy. I have started my odyssey into the mystical world by painting the two owners of the place, G&G magic duo. More to come this coming Friday 15th when the whole project officially starts.

Esoteric Art in Italy

After repetitive travelling between Korea and the UK for almost a year, my art has now taken me to Italy to participate to a series of art events in collaboration with a friend of mine, Gaia. She is the proud owner of Gelateria Pinguino, one of the best places in the renaissance town of Ferrara where to enjoy a night out whilst eating a copious amount of - ever so delicious - ice cream. I had this idea to use Pinguino as a platform for art events and turn it into a gathering of bohemian artists where people who enjoy art may feel enthused with inspiration.

First art event is scheduled for Friday 15^th July 2011 with me as a guest artist. On the night I will be creating bespoke paintings inspired by people's personality and energy. I have never attempted to do such painting in public so I am really excited at the thought and feel ever so grateful to Gaia for buying into my ideas and trusting me completely with this.

Joy of Dance

For once a blog entry not focusing on my art! Recently I have been asked to work as an exhibition curator for the Cambridge (UK) exhibition Joy of Dance. Despite the usual last minute panic and the ever tiring process of putting together an exhibition, I thoroughly enjoyed helping the two exhibiting artists, Rog Palmer and Virginia Neild, with all the planning for and preparation of this event. If you are in Cambridge these days, please come and see the magic of dance at the Guildhall.

Rog Palmer - Photographer


Virigina Neild - Figurative Artist

These were my favourite pieces in the whole exhibition, photos of a dancer called Tiago. Perhaps not quite as perfect as 김현중 but for sure one of the best bodies around~~~ㅋㅋㅋ

Camper Van Project – Take 3 The End

Here it comes the final stage of my Camper Van Project. I completed the design by painting the front and the other side. I initially wanted one side to mirror the other but then decided to make the right side more dynamic as this is the one that cars will see whilst overtaking the van. Hope you like the final result as much as I do! I surely enjoyed painting my artwork on this cute little thing.
What an amazing experience has been. Now I am simply looking forward to see this van travelling up and down country roads in Britain and making me proud!

Camper Van Project - Take 2

After a lot of planning and hours spent with a brush in my hands, here it comes the first side and the back of the campervan. It took me literally forever to understand how to paint efficiently on metal but I am really happy with the resulted look. Nothing more rewarding than painting a campervan on the side of the road with kids screaming 'wow, it looks wicked!' when passing by. More to come....

Camper Van Project - Take 1

Today I started working on one of the coolest commissions I have ever had: I have been asked to revamp this campervan with my art and make it much more appealing to the folk people.

Stay tune to see the final hippie product!!!
