Engrave the sea on your body and lie it surge
Sing the lullaby as a mother pats her child
At the tip of falling into a deep sleep, it wakes you and runs away
Protect our Environment!

Kim Joon expresses his obsessions and desires in the form of tattoo. Through his initial installation work of tattooing a fake piece of flesh, he makes a discourse on the gap between the body and the tattoo. He also boldly demonstrates the repression towards individuals under the social convention by tattoo, a cultural and legal taboo in Korea.

He studied painting in Hongik University and graduated Hongik University Graduate School. He has actively shown his works in twenty private exhibitions held in Seoul, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Chicago, Miami, Tokyo, LA, Verona, and New York and in group exhibitions such as Asia Pacific Triennale, PARIS-PHOTO, and Basel ART PAIR. Currently, he works at Cartoon Animation department in Kongju National University.
