SM Fine Art Gallery featured two famous Korean artists in its booth at the LA Art Show, both of whom work with fine details. Chun Kwang Young wraps paper around triangular pieces of styrofoam to create huge textural collages whereas Kim Dong Yoo paints tiny portraits of celebrities to form one massive portrait of a different, but related, celebrity. For example, his portrait of Michael Jackson was made up of a bunch of portraits of Madonna – all with varying degrees of paint density. And the two icons relate because Michael is the king of pop and Madonna is its queen. The actual gallery is located in Irvine and has a pretty impressive collection of work by Chagall, Koons, and Picasso in addition to the work already mentioned.
