The world where the life invited by artist Kim Gon and the galaxy come together

"The artistic inspiration that runs through my work came from my favorite mountain as a young man. On a four-day night for the end of Jirisan Mountain, I soaked my hands and face in clear stream water.
The moment I woke up and looked up at the sky inadvertently, the stars were falling right over my head.
Even if you don't have to go to Mt. Jiri, you can experience the feeling of Jindo, but I had a strong motivation to express the reverberations I got from hiking in Mt. Jiri

As the artist unites with nature, Kim Gon's art world combines flowers, wild creatures and the Milky Way, and the alien worlds outside the Earth and Earth harmonize with each other.
Kim Gon is a versatile painter.
Starting as a calligrapher, the expression technique built by an oriental painter based on a four-county ruler as a literary artist is now drawing attention from many people by incorporating it into an oil painting of a Western painting technique. Critic Oh Se-kwon said, "In Kim Gon's work, there is more than just the soul of art embodied in oriental painting and calligraphy.
The expression technique of oriental painting and calligraphy is that the materials of Han and ink are transformed into works through the order and procedure of the brush's operation and the strength of the brush touch.
Kim Gon incorporates this technique into Western paintings and converts them into works by boldly and thickly expressing acrylic paint on the canvas. " In other words, Kim Gon is a painter who mainly expresses the oriental perspective and spirit through Western painting techniques. Kim Gon spent most of his 40 years as a painter through his own training, holding 55 solo exhibitions, including exhibitions abroad such as the United States and China, and invitational exhibitions at the 2013 GS Caltex, LA Marriott Hotel and Parkview Gallery.
He runs Gallicon and Atelier in Cheongdam-dong. If you go there, you can meet Kim Gon's art world, where the beauty of life becomes one with the vastness of the universe.
