Born in South Korea, Keewon immigrated to America in 1983. He is a self-taught artist who has been working in the Los Angeles area producing murals, fine art painting, and portraiture for the past fifteen years. His work is influenced by artists such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Corrot and Inness. He strives to emphasize the feelings of beauty and thought of each person portrayed in his figure paintings and the quite, intimate, and sublime stillness of nature in his landscape work. His goal is to provide an emotional experience to the viewer who might, in return, have insightful reflections and beautiful thoughts of their own. Keewon’s hope is that he will continue to develop his personal style of painting as he celebrates both nature and humanity by exploring their cyclical relationship.
