Yunseob Kim has experimented with a new methodology for creating flat images using diverse mediums, including drawing, painting, and animation. Since he majored in animation at Kongju University and maintained an interest in cartoons, he is allowed to create paintings that deviate from traditional genres like drawing and sculptures. In 2007, he began utilizing self-portraits, hand drawings, and cup drawings in his paintings and videos. He also worked in drawing, text, installation, and video in 2011. In addition, since 2014, the artist has delivered private narratives to the audience in a variety of techniques and subjects, including the “Hell” series, which focuses on digital physical properties experiments and the investigation of moving images. The artist is constructing his own universe by discussing the definition of time, events, visions, beings, and devildom as well as posing problems regarding the identity of modern painting in art history.

"Zombie Portrait-Narcissus" is a work that formed and collaborated with artist Hyunseok Kim in the ‘Warrior and Wizard’ group. The artist captured the feature of distorting images online and altering or distributing their meanings by collecting photographs of characters and transforming them artificially via coding. The program regenerated the digitized image as a new image with noise, and the artist recreated it as an oil painting on canvas. He identifies the concept of distracting and gloomy ‘devildom’, which is incompatible with an orderly society, as the main emotion that penetrates the work. In this way, the artist continually experiments with the interpretation method of modern painting in art history and constructs his own new art worldview.
