When desperately looking for a new accommodation in Seoul, the Pangs accepted me under their wing and have been taken care of me since. To say thanks to them for their kindness I decided to create a portrait series to describe each member of this wonderful Korean family.

The Thoughts Series - Eternal Life (영생)

Series created for and featured in the Golmok Gallery Opening Exhibition 'Before the dawn of Language' March 2011, Seoul. Originals: Acrylics and Ink on canvas.

At the birth of Mankind a Dark and Light path lead to Negative (Dark) and Positive (Good) thinking. These together gave to Mankind the ability to communicate in an never-ending spiral of words. Some of these are destined to an eternal life (영생), like the work of famous artists, poets and writers.

~ The concept for this series was cooked up in Cambridge and for this I need to express my thanks first of all to my friend and colleague at the Corn Exchange Theatre, Mark (the first who came out with a suitable plan) and Rog (the one who helped me to elaborate the theme and encouraged me to make it back to Korea for the exhibition). Last but not least, the one behind the Eternal Life spiral's idea, concept and energy inspiration, my favourite Korean artist, 허영생 . This whole series is my way to say thanks to him for giving me the inspiration to make my journey to Korea.

Korea

Korean Rain

Music Car - Coleslaw's 친구

KHR (돈)

J

This series was inspired by people that I met in Korea. Many adventures and stories to tell in pictures.

Rain: This painting was done as a gift for 김수룡 (Kim Soo Ryong), one of SBS's dramas directors who kindly allowed me to visit his drama set during the filming of 초혼 (First Marriage). My first encounter with him took place on the eve of 추석 (Chuseok) 2010, on a very very raining day, hence the inspiration for the painting.

Music Car - Coleslaw's 친구: A very peculiar man (my friend keeps calling him 'psycho' and he doesn't seem to mind it at all) who loves to sing-a-long very loud music whilst driving.

KHR (돈): Without a doubt one of my best and the first friend I ever had in Seoul. To say thanks for always taking great care of me, one day I asked 혜림 if she wanted a painting and most important, of what subject. The answer I got was '돈' (money) so I decided to paint for her my very own banknote which was also inspired by my friend's aura colours and energy.

J: Perhaps one of the guys with the most complex personality, big ego, and most important peculiar aura I ever met in my life. Still, what an interesting period was that one (P.S. J, I still want my original painting back btw, you promise you would do so...!!!)

The Solstice Series

Summer Solstice

Winter Solstice

Available to buy: Signed Limited Edition Hand Embellished Giclée Print (195) 12" x 10" (30cm x 25cm). Originals: Acrylics on fabric.
This diptych was one of my first works created in Cambridge. Back then I was still strongly inspired by the Italian Renaissance art which has heavily influenced my growth as an artist. In particularly with these pieces I was trying to replicate the feeling of a Renaissance tapestry. The trees symbolise life and death as they manifest themselves in the eternal cycle of the seasons.

The Murder Machine Series

Murder Machine I

Murder Machine II

Murder Machine III

Available to buy: Signed Limited Edition Hand Embellished Giclée Print (250) 12" x 10" (30cm x 25cm). Originals: Acrylics on canvas.

This series was inspired by one of the Black Parade concerts, on the night of 22nd November of a life time ago. My aim was to depict the dark side of the human soul and the Murder Machine mentioned in the song. I never got to create the Cog in the Murder Machine...perhaps one day I will do it.

Murder Machine I, II and III.
