Amazing Korean Art: Kim Joon (김준)













Born in 1966 in Seoul, Kim Joon is a contemporary Korean artist whose work focuses on the human body and nudity. Playing on the taboos surrounding tatoos in Korean culture, the human relation to nudity and the aesthetics of the fragmented body Kim Joon has been experimenting with various colors and designs. Using his technique of "mouse painting", he paints bodies with everything from traditional Asian patterns to logos of famous luxury brands. You can check his website for more awesome art. My personal favorite's the Dragon - Fragile print featured below :)



Birdland - Chrysler

Cradle Song - Ferragamo

Dragon - Fragile

Duet - Horse

We - BMW
