NovemberPark89

Joon Park, a pop surrealist, considered by some a lowbrow artist and also an experienced trompe-l'œil artist, has been an avid painter since his high school debut. His inspiration initially grew from Korean folk tales from his childhood, though he became even more engulfed by surrealism at an opportunity he had to reside in Europe. Overseas he was captivated by many European artists such asLeonardo Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, and Salvador Dali. His ever-growing curiosity in the many styles of art, while still focusing on surrealism, sparks his imagination.

Joon is now influenced by many modern San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles based artists. While learning from multiples new artists’ examples, he still practices the techniques of the old masters. Although he is still young and blossoming, Joon hopes his desire to paint will drive him into uncharted territory.
