Artists seek to capture the protean subjects of their dreams whilst fearing their very ephemerality. This blend of fantasy and reality—connected through like a mobius strip—results in a contemplated process that gives way to their “museful reveries”. The six artists of Kingscribbler, Gyul.E Kim, Jongkie Lee, Jina Jung, Jeonghyun Ha and Taeyang Hong and their museful dreams greet the viewers.

Calem Glover seeks beauty sourced in imperfection. The roots of his beauty are in the scribbles of old notepads next to phonebooks, and now are the very foundation of the imperfect lines that sprawl his canvas. His colorful lines and shapes exude a cool and dynamic effervescence—revealing and reflecting the gamut of emotions culled from his eclectic experiences.

Stripping away the symbols that we indifferently encounter daily, Kim depicts the unreadable shapes on canvas. The artist’s refusal of readily accepted norms of social symbols feels both lighthearted and romanticized in her art.

Jongkie Lee shows a clear penchant for highly valued art such as Whanki Kim’s abstractions and traditional moon jars in his own paintings. He invokes the purity found in Kim with his dots and the potters with their clay—harking to unadulterated moments that preface commercial evaluation of artworks. It’s in this idealistic microcosm that the artist’s favorite characters of the Simpsons family and Superman infiltrate and envelop his fantasy.

As an artist of the digital age, Jina Jung uniquely captures contemporary natural landscapes. She incorporate digitally interpreted elements of nature into her works to create new scenes. From the atmospheric colors, the rhythmic movements of grass, and the lightness of clouds, Jung delicately portrays non-specific imagery with fluidity.

Describing her joyful creative process as her own “play”, Ha expresses this freedom through the painting methods of scratching and rubbing the colors on canvas. Through this process, her inner memories burst forth continuously like a series creating depth of layers. Contrary to an expectation of turbidity, the myriad of colors and layers appear luminous and impresses a certain delicate clarity that effectively captures memories of her bright and cheerful childhood.

We are understood by those closest to us, and at times by those whom we barely know. Through the character “Iomteiot” (Toi et Moi), whose door-shaped eyes invoke the connectivity of time and space, Hong bridges the gap and narrows the spaces between individuals. This process is a journey of emotional self-introspection and an itinerary of the trials and errors found in discovering ourselves.
