Most of these Young Chun illustrations follow a similar format, but his impressive paintings are exemplary of the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Each painting features a young woman wearing eccentric eyewear while staring directly at the viewer. You can’t help but be drawn into the worlds of these fantastical fashionistas, even if their bug-eyed, small jaw proportions are more alien-like than physically appealing; it's simply impossible to look away.
Young Chun often gives his subjects vibrantly colored glasses in red, orange and yellow hues, as well as small, but plump crimson lips. Many will be surprised to learn Chun worked as a respiratory therapist for a portion of his adult life before taking on an art career illustrating these mesmerizing muses.
