Janggu and Ink
"Janggu and ink" Acrylic on cradled birch wood panel 24 x 24” round In Korea, tattoos are considered a medical procedure so technically, only licensed doctors can perform tattoos. But, there’s a scene of tattoo artists out there, which means being tatted up in Korea is even more rebellious than in other countries. This culture of self expression is rising in a country where traditional meets modern. Janggu drums and jeonmo paper hats meet tattoos and combat boots. The sides of the round panel are painted in a Dancheong style.
