About The Work

The character ‘Atomaus’ was created by Lee Donggi and the series ‘Bubble’ and ‘Smoking’ show his methodology well. In the artist’s vast world of work, Atomaus continues to reproduce and transform infinitely in the space in which it exists, its facial expressions, poses, and clothes. After the 2000s, as the era of mass media and consumption was rapidly activated, sub-character works were produced. One of them, ‘Dogy Dog’ expressed Atomaus with wrinkled faces like bubbles.
