Yongjae Kim is a hyperrealist painter. He uses tiny paintbrushes smaller than our eyelashes to create super-realistic images of our daily surroundings in NYC. The Korean-born artist has been obsessed with detailed drawings and paintings, working strictly in oil painting. It takes him months and even years to complete one painting. He is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, 2023, and The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in the category of Painting 2021, and the New York Foundation for the Arts award in 2021.
