ABOUT<\/h2><\/span><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”Sakiroo (Korean: \uc0ac\ud0a4\ub8e8), born Choi Sang-hyun (Korean: \ucd5c\uc0c1\ud604; Hanja: \u5d14\u76f8\u8ce2), is a South Korean illustrator and character designer. The subjects for his work are varied and include caricatures of sports figures. He has been involved in exhibits and projects (see below), including those in South Korea, France, England, United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore, United States, Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela. He lives and works in Bucheon, just outside Seoul.<\/p>\n

Style and works<\/h2><\/span><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”His work has been described as “a multitude of illustrations and cartoons full of color and extravagance,“ “inspired by cartoons and manga,“ influenced by “Asian themes,“ and combining “hand-drawn illustrations with digital coloring \u2014 using his own color theory.“ In an interview with KOCCA he said he mainly works on paper, which allows him to sketch in coffee shops in Seoul, without computer graphics. Manga that have influenced him include Yusuke Murata’s Eyeshield 21, and Akira Toriyama’s Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball’s second anime adaptation, Dragon Ball Z, was also an influence.<\/p>\n

His work, though varied, sticks closely to popular culture themes, often making fun of them. In 2011, his “Yellow Lemon“ characters, with “oblong heads, menacing grins, beady eyes and dental work from the ’90’s“ populated a “school“ with uniformed elite characters, including Batman, Superman, Ronald McDonald, Homer Simpson and Michael Jackson. After he used the characters again to “pick on“ famous fashion brands, Hugo Boss, Ermenegildo Zegna, Burberry, Lacoste and The North Face; Trendhunter.com said “Yellow Lemon“ was becoming a cultural staple itself.<\/p>\n

In 2013, both Mass Appeal and Flavorwire, that document urban and cultural trends, noted his caricature work with Colombian artist Pol (Jean Paul Egred), “some of music\u2019s best collabs“, among those, MJ and Eddie Van Halen, Run\u2013D.M.C. and Aerosmith, enhanced with beaks, braces and severed limbs. He had previously joined Pol in 2012, with other South Korean and Colombian artists, when they met in Miami to show an interpretation of each other’s pop icons.<\/p>\n

In 2013, he illustrated The Big Bang Theory for Warner Bros. Television; and the Striding Man for Johnnie Walker, and in 2014, Valderrama for Major League Soccer Insider.<\/p>\n

In 2016, he spoke about his soccer illustrations on SBS TV’s Football Magazine Goal! and continued educational talks with other young artists. His June 2016 autobiography, Sakiroo Breaking, details his path to becoming an artist. Kim Byung-joon of E-Daily News said, “The depth of the message is deep because it crosses over material such as philosophy, history, culture, art, and education.“” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:14px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1659843267198{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.aaaarts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1659843185renwangjisepainting_twothousandandeleven.jpg?id=9842) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”600px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1550584479701{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1659843285262{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.aaaarts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1659843089-Death_Note_2013.jpg?id=9834) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”600px”][\/vc_column][vc_column color_style=”light” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1578629695907{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}”]
