Jinu Nam, the painting artist, has long drawn a worldview of his identity as a giant squid. In this exhibition, the artist pays attention to the heroes who respond to the great squid, who have always been the main characters. These heroes are beings that embody justice by setting up villains and fighting, and at the same time capture the reality of cruel and false images. The exhibition space will feature canvas paintings using oil and acrylic, crayon paintings in the form of collages that combine images of characters and landscapes separately, and triptych format of three-dimensional paintings in the center of the space that make each part of the image with various materials such as Gwangmok fabric, vinyl, needles, etc..
