Jung Il-woo art inspired by famous artists and architecture!

July, 2018

Yes, you read that correctly, architecture!  What I do is play with forms from architecture to create patterns and then use them as replacement for skin or clothing. I made this series based on art and architecture I saw on a trip I made to Spain at this time.  Believe it or not I used an APP!   Easy as 1, 2 3 if you have an idea… and sometimes it just magically happens…you just have to be paying attention so you can get the best part of it.

I am blessed with an artist’s eye.  How could I not with the artistic mother I have!  This had its pros and cons as with everything in life… I even fell into one of her oil paintings when I was around 5 and was covered in oil paints from head to toe… what came after was excruciating for me as my mother was furious (with very good reason as I had ruined her painting) and she removed the paint from my arms and legs using a very hard brush and the dissolver of oil paint… then soap.  I will never forget that day… it’s so funny to me now…  you could say I got that artistic eye the hard way!

So this piece:

Now onto artists…I love doing these!  It’s so much fun!  It’s almost as if I go along with Il-woo inside one of the paintings… like Mary Poppins!
