ArtPrize Drone Event

On Friday, September 19th, artist Oh Jungseok will be performing, alongside a live violinist, and creating his ArtPrize entry right here in the store!

Oh Jungseok is an artist recognized for his unique method of painting directly onto canvas by attaching a brush to a drone. He plans to portray Stevie Wonder, the iconic musician from Michigan. Stevie Wonder’s signature song, “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” bridges generations and time, and by choosing Stevie Wonder as his subject, the artist creates a medium that connects himself with his audience. For him, the drone is not merely a machine but a creative instrument that fuses human determination with technology. Amid countless variables such as wind and vibration, he achieves delicate brushstrokes, making his process resemble life itself. “Painting with a drone is never easy,” he says. “You must overcome the wind and countless failures. But for the sake of the work, you have to make it happen. Life is the same.” His work is an art of documentation and an inspiring performance where technology and human will intersect. Oh Jungseok will continue to capture people’s stories on canvas in his own way, expanding his unique artistic world.
