KUN

KUN is a painter from Israël, born in 1974. Now, he currently lives and works in New York. He graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Fine Arts in Jerusalem in 1998. He also obtained a diploma from the Goldsmith College in London in 2000. His paintings are known for their surprisingly realistic aspect. Strongly inspired by photo shots, the artist does oil painting, which belongs to the hyper-realism current. This is why he gives a lot of importance to detail and the end result is just impressive. Landscape, with a close up on a branch, windows covered with raindrops, Kun’s paintings play with our eyes. The artist encourages the spectator to question his relationship with images and reality. Kun portrays mankind as intruders in his painting, as they damage nature. His latest series is part of Galerie Mickaël Marciano‘s selection.
