Kim Jung Gi x Superani Exhibition

For this second European retrospective of Kim Jung Gi's artwork, organized in collaboration with Éditions Caurette and Superani, the Daniel Maghen Gallery looks back on ten years of creativity. The exhibition brings together more than a hundred pieces, including large-format frescoes created during his performances in Europe (concerts, festivals, trade shows, etc.), erotic drawings and original pages from his series Spy Games (written by J.D. Morvan, published by Glénat), McCurry, NY, September 11, 2001 (written by JD Morvan, published by Dupuis) and Tiger the Long Tail (published by CNC Révolution), highlighting the incredible diversity of this artist's boundless imagination. Known for his “drawing shows,” Kim Jung Gi creates large frescoes from memory with disarming ease, composed of lively scenes, a clever mix of South Korean folklore and futuristic animal creatures. His incredible talents have earned him invitations to all the major international comic art conventions and the recognition of artists around the world, including Takashi Murakami, who collects and exhibits his artworks in his Tokyo gallery.

The Dreams of Korea exhibition also showcases artists from the Superani studio, with artworks by Armel Gaulme, Q-Ha, Dong Ho Kim, Kemi Jang, Jisu Kim, Viktor Kalvachev, Kwang Seong Kim, Karl Kopinski, WooJin Oh, Jae Kwang Park, Frédéric Pillot, Tony Sandoval, Uniquelab and Kim Hyun Jin, its founder and master watercolorist. Since its creation in 2001, the collective has brought together the world's most talented artists and illustrators, who can be discovered during the exhibition. Two unique sculptures created especially for the occasion by the DBFX and Karlab studios will also be on display.

Daniel Maghen, Kim Jung Gi, Éditions Caurette, and Superani are delighted to invite you to the artist's performance and the exhibition opening on Friday, April 12, at 6 p.m.
