Laocoon

This work is a digital painting that reinterprets ancient Laocoon in a way that expresses manga and animation under the influence of modern subculture. Yunsung Lee is interested in the expressions of old narrative and modern visual culture. He uses images produced by famous narratives-Western myths-as motifs, and expression methods derived from subculture images called Manga or Moe. He utilizes this methodology not only for the subject and form of the painting but also for the shape, size, and combination method of the frame, as well as color and drawing techniques.
