Sungsic Moon

b. 1980 · Gimcheon, South Korea

As the youngest participant to exhibit in the Korean Pavilion at the 2005 Venice Biennale, Sungsic Moon has garnered a great deal of interest in the art world. In 2011, Moon held a solo exhibition of his landscape portraits at Kukje Gallery and received high acclaim from both critics and artists. The artist depicts fundamental places in contemporary landscapes based on his latent memories and experiences of childhood, generating a discussion of his personal history. His works reflect moments on time spent with acquaintances, strangers, as well as moments that are so familiar that they become overlooked. Using his thin, delicate paintbrush, Moon carefully emphasizes the sharp contours within the canvas and creates a series of drawings built on accumulation of pencil marks, which end up resembling paintings.
