A series of works under the title of ‘Funkchestra’, a compound word of funk and orchestra, are presented in color and black and white, pattern (abstract) and realism, in sexuality, closure and eruption, high culture and popular culture, painting and design, religion and pornography. It shows the advanced world of his work that crosses the art world. The configuration of inflammatory bold gothic fonts and realistic descriptions seen in ‘Funkchestra’ reminds us of the traditional poster format. Orthodox icons of Vanitas paintings, such as skulls and butterflies, often appear in his works. It suggests a connecting point with classic paintings.
