I first encountered the work of Daehyun Kim, also known as moonassi, on the wonderful website Escape Into Life. Moonassi was born and still resides in Seoul, South Korea. He studied traditional Korean painting at Hongik University.
In his pen and marker drawings, moonassi employs a minimalist aesthetic to brilliantly illustrate the most subtle and intangible qualities of human relationships. Almost all feature two nearly identical figures, which the titles suggest represent a “me” and a “you”, in some form of engagement with one another. There often seems to be an inequality inherent in the figures’ relationship, and their interactions often appear strained, perhaps even hopeless. And yet there is a great tenderness in these illustrations. Strange and paradoxical, they capture something very real.
All images are presented here with the artist’s permission. To see more please visit moonassi’s website.
