Diverse and heterogeneous fragments coexist in Man Seop Kim's works. He studied Western painting at Mokwon University, earned a master's degree in Western painting from the same graduate school, and is actively using collages or montage techniques in his works. The images and symbols of his works are based on his daily experiences. He generates tension by capturing the moments when conflicting emotions, such as happiness and sorrow, love and anger, collide. The artist mimesis the coexistence of various beings in modern society through the confrontation and harmony that occur in the creation of works.
