Red Chair

Jamsan is a Korean contemporary artist known for bridging illustration, concept art, and painting into a seamless narrative practice. Widely recognized for his visual direction in the acclaimed TV series It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, he has since developed a body of work that transcends media, expanding his darkly poetic fairy-tale aesthetics into fine art. His paintings dwell in the tension between fantasy and solitude—where chairs, roses, forests, and young girls reappear as recurring symbols of memory, vulnerability, and resilience. Each motif carries a double meaning: beauty intertwined with pain, stillness with longing, and imagination with healing. Jamsan’s surfaces, rendered in oil and acrylic with crisp outlines and luminous fields of color, evoke both the intimacy of picture-book illustrations and the depth of painterly space. In recent exhibitions such as The Voice at River City Bangkok, his world unfolds as a cosmic fable—roses from distant stars, silent forests, and dreamlike creatures whispering unspoken stories. By merging the language of visual storytelling with painterly sensibility, Jamsan crafts a space where viewers project their own narratives and find solace in the familiar icons of childhood and myth. His art offers a rare fusion of accessibility and profundity, resonating equally with popular audiences and serious collectors alike.
