WARIOUNDERGROUND PAINTING WORKS ๐ŸŽจ

"I'm drawing simple styles, black and white but no symmetrical beauty . LIMBO is a space where the dead are caught in between this world and the next. i am talking about the story of these dead people. the way these paintings are made can be only described as being ironic and bizarre; it is a limbo resulting from a repeated skepticism of the world in uncertainty.

in the 80's, when i didn't even know what a dictatorial government is, i thought it's natural to watch american TV series and cartoons, coming home from work sharply at 6pm, have dinner with family and being picky while i'm eating, and after dinner watch TV together and then go to sleep. as i grew older, i realized that all these neutral memories are very special and i started to remind my childhood memories through my work. my personal life is very common, yet i learned by myself to see the world and find very awkward things in many contradictions. i'm not an ANTI-AMERICAN, i'm a piece of work of cultural half-breed, like eating kimchi and being into skateboarding at the same time."
