Michael: Terrible, terrible news as we hear that Kim Jung Gi, an absolute master and one of the greatest comic-book artists of his time, has died at the age of just 47. Please take a moment and scroll through his posts to appreciate his genius. May he rest in peace.
Message from David Maghen: “KIM Jung Gi, the South Korean illustrator known worldwide for his graphic performances whose videos have millions of views, signs his big comeback in Europe with an exhibition-sale, live drawing shows and signing sessions at the gallery Daniel Maghen, from September 15 to October 8, 2022, in partnership with Caurette and Superani editions.
Able to memorize everything he sees and render it in the form of a drawing, KIM Jung Gi is considered a genius. This phenomenal talent has earned him invitations to the four corners of the world, to all the biggest fairs and festivals, to perform graphic performances, “drawing shows”, during which he draws large freehand frescoes.
The exhibition presents more than a hundred works, large format illustrations made during his performances, erotic drawings, illustrations inspired by Korean folklore, and shows the extraordinary imagination of this artist through the incredible diversity of its production.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition, the Daniel Maghen gallery organizes drawing shows and free signing sessions. This will be a rare opportunity to see a master of drawing create live large frescoes from his imagination. An unmissable appointment.
THE DRAWING SHOWS PROGRAM (free admission)
– Friday September 16, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
– Saturday September 17, from 10.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m.
