Kim Jung Gi, a widely beloved South Korean artist known for creating sprawling, detailed works in a matter of hours, has died at 47.The acclaimed South Korean artist crafted sprawling, intricately detailed scenes with unbelievable speed, often before a live audience. He narrated as he worked, sharing his process with his rapt fans as he created a fully realized piece of art before their eyes.
Known for his live drawing sessions, Kim covered blank canvases with impossibly detailed scenes that he drew often without a reference image. He'd create scenes using visual snippets he'd collected and committed to memory, then apply to paper. He told the arts publication Visual Atelier that for his most sweeping pieces, he had about "60 per cent of the image in head" and improvised the rest.
Jim Lee, publisher and chief creative officer of DC Comics, called Kim "one of the absolute greats" in a series of tweets remembering the Korean artist, who occasionally designed covers for DC series and participated in drawing workshops through the company.
