Dark and minimalistic in style, the Moonassi Drawing series is based entirely on the use of ink. Although ink illustrations are just as emotive and emotional as other mediums, this collection of work is particularly arresting. Although the images in the Moonassi Drawing series are somewhat suffocating in all of their blackness, and even in regards to the context of some of the images, the strategic use of white paper provides relief as well as a sort of release.
Created by Daehyun Kim, a artist and graphic designer born in Seoul, Korea, and based in Vienna, Austria, the Moonassi Drawing series revolves around recognisable human traits, conditions and situations. It's Nice That writes, "And just like butter melting over warm toast, these drawings are elegant, simple and highly evocative."
