ICON Series - Oil painting

ICON Series
 There is no outstanding ideology in the world. There are only sincere results. 90.9x72.7(cm) Acrylic on canvas 2021

The iKON is a series that depicts the symbolic characters of passion and genius that represent the times. 
The work was born out of the original desire to own them through the 'painting'.

The key words in this work are doodle and digital painting.
Doodles damage the nature of other things and have the property of 'being erased soon'.
Digital painting has the opposite properties of hand-crafted painting. Erasing and filling are done at the same time, and it is drawn as a way to replace the color below.
The painter is asking questions through a character made up of the language of the damage.

"What is immortalized in the course of the years?"

It also contains the artist's thoughts on what a painter should have about originality in a modern society where the value of everything changes so quickly and is overturned.
