Junsung Kim, a self-taught artist specializing in mixed media, strives for a balance between various techniques including painting with acrylics, oriental paints, and using knife strokes. Presenting a potent contrast of crudeness and refinement, his art employs intricate texture work, stamping and staining evoking the natural deterioration of mural-like surfaces over time. Kim's works are embodiments of raw emotion, exuding his internalized anger and resentment from contemporary socio-political issues, simultaneously revealing the complexity of his thoughts through labyrinthine designs and philosophical themes.
