About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Hyoungseok Kim paints two human figures waiting on a store bench. He emphasizes the material scientific features of nature by expressing the flow of dots or particles. He firmly bases his concepts and ideas on materialism and natural sciences.Hyoungseok shares an excerpt of John Updike’s Cosmic Gall as inspiration for his Ghost in the City series:Neutrinos, they are very small.They have no charge and have no mass. And do not interact at all. The earth is just a silly ball To them, through which they simply pass,Like dustmaids down a drafty hall Or photons through a sheet of glass.
About the Artist
Artist Hyoungseok Kim produces contemporary figurative work using pointillism as his preferred technique. “My artwork focuses on the story of communication and connection between all things in the universe,†says Hyoungseok. He enforces pointillist methods to emphasize the material aspect of his colorful compositions, representing the energetic behavior through a flow of vibrant dots and particles. His art gravitates toward representing people captured in everyday occurrences. Hyoungseok pursued a BFA and MFA degree in art, achieving his childhood dream of becoming an artist. Today, his home studio in Dacula, Georgia, doubles as a small wood workshop and painting space. He uses reference photos to recreate and transform beautiful renditions of the ordinary and mundane. Aside from his artistic endeavors, he enjoys crafting bespoke audio systems. Music always plays from his handmade speakers to accompany him as he paints.

- The separation of the beloved Mohammad Ariyaei 21st Century oustider Iranian artBy Mohammad AriyaeiLocated in Paris, FRAcrylic paint on paper Hand-signed on the left « Here the barbaric or savage ceremonies of New Guinea take on the air of Rio carnival. Here the vitality bursts and the colors dance the jig while thundering. A charivari of African masks, children's drawings and neon colors invades the meticulously meshed backdrops with volcanic overflows. It seems that within a kindergarten class, merry feathered wizards have joined together to cover the canvas or the paper with totemic figures strewn with the most inventively unexpected graffiti, in a creative frenzy so bubbling that the anarchy that threat recovers as in spite of itself a semblance of balance. The graphic design performs an enveloping and virtuoso dance that passes from the most wisely academic exercise to the most exuberant and Dionysian lyrical expressionism. It's flamboyant, paroxysmal and wonderfully joyful. Should we detect here any influence of the spirit of "outsider art", today widespread worldwide? Perhaps, but then it is undeniable that the personal temperament of Mohammad ARIYAEI...Category
