I had the chance to hang out with Kopyeon yesterday and chop it up about what's new in his life and the "graff scene". First off we headed out to 33Third in Los Angeles to pick up some paint. I took a bunch of flicks of some great pieces inside the shop. Then we headed out to Pinches Tacos for lunch! As we get older and our lives become so hectic with work and stuff sometimes it's nice just slow down and catch up with old friends and see what they've been up to...
"My style of painting comes from what I’ve learned in doing graffiti.
My choice of medium is spray paint and acrylic as my secondary choice. My paintings depict images that have been an event in my life or other people’s life stories. They’re scattered thoughts that run thru my mind. I use mostly acrylic on canvas. “Buff “paint (house paint) and spray paint on walls. Acrylics give me freedom to paint faster and the ability to layer my colors easier.
I’ve transferred my methods of painting walls to something I can transport and share with everyone not just graffiti artist. I enjoy the feeling and the reaction I get from people just by what I do with layers of paint. It might be a little offensive or dark or even funny, but I think it’s a gift I was given to share with everyone.
My paintings are like my children. I have a mental bond with them. They are little time capsules of me."
