Ken Gun Min

Ken Gun Min

Ken Gun Min, born 1976 in Seoul, is a painter exploring intimacy, masculinity, and cross-cultural representation, combining Western oil paint, Korean pigments, embroidery, and beading on raw canvas. Featuring nude and queer-coded men in lush landscapes, his work evokes longing and euphoria. Having lived in San Francisco, Zurich, Berlin, and Los Angeles, Min questions Eurocentric perspectives, integrating Eastern and Western styles while challenging Western art history’s depictions of sexuality, gender, and race.
