Hands and feet are of particular importance to this talented artist.
South Korean artist WanJin KIM gives his work realistic proportions and colours.
He achieved this with a mixture of colored pencils, acrylic paints, and inks. As I said above, the anatomical features that take center stage in most of these illustrations are the hands and feet.
Most of the body popping/emerging from it fades away as a feature the artist isn’t really interested in, or as a way to focus our view on aspects that KIM wants us to pay attention to.
An aspect of the human figure that is often overlooked or restricted in its appearance and significance, takes pride of place in this post.
The hands, which are one of the most articulated parts of our body, are used by many as an extension of language. Then your feet are often covered and hardly noticed when you are there. KIM does a great job showing them in different poses and lighting. Sometimes it takes on a wonderfully soft ethereal look.
Enjoy extra art, on your Wednesday.
