Artist Name

T.A.K

Born: 1982

Hometown: South Korea

Based in: South Korea

I was born in an industrial city in South Korea in 1982 and am currently working on art based in Seoul.

As a child, I liked to spend the abandoned car park alone in the playground. It was an infinite time of daydreaming, and it was better to be hiding because I liked people but was afraid of being hurt.

The little child, who was drawing while looking at the stars and the moon in the night sky, digs deeper into small wounds that began with a slight overlap of memories and relationships.
Putting up a canvas and touching paint made by myself, I pats the wounds inside me. So that your wounds will be healed while you bury them like that way.
