Lead Artists
Thompson Hall
My work is primarily large-scale acrylic paintings and pastel and initial coloured pencil drawings. I explore my everyday experiences and the situations I find myself in. I then use these observations to create bold flat and patterned compositions.
My use of colour has been described as spontaneous, using my palette to express the feelings and emotions I want to create. I use recognisable symbols in my work to give visual references to the subjects I’ve chosen. They are like news images in a “more abstract” than true to life way.
I have nurtured an interest in art and art history, with references like Frank Auerbach and Chris Ofili, whilst visiting exhibitions across London.
My work is inspired by the inequalities of society and what is happening in the world around me, in regards to politics, social change, marginalisation and now the impact social media and our reliance on mobile phones are all having on our society today..
We live by rules and regulations that say you can’t do this and you can’t do that. In my paintings I am trying to tell people how this makes me feel.

Working with international teams—beyond just those in Jeju—is a truly exciting endeavor. I see it as an opportunity to elevate the artistic world I have built thus far to the next level.
Yong-won Kim
Motivation for Creation
Drawing has been like the very purpose of my life, ever since I was around five years old—a time when I couldn’t yet speak well. By depicting the animals I loved in my own unique way, I felt as though I were coexisting with them.
Motivation for Participation
Working alone is enjoyable, but at times it can also be exhausting and lonely. I believe this will be a great opportunity to share art with others and to explore myself more deeply.

I find drawing the most enjoyable. I also like going to see exhibitions. Using a variety of colors makes me feel at ease.
