He will present a selection of paintings, including a self-portrait of a dark figure surrounded by colourful balloons, in London.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to conceal the subject (myself), so (that part is) really dark,\u201d he said. \u201cBright colours make you feel happy &#8230; with that contrast, I wanted to express complexity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MINO and Kang, a singer, songwriter and producer known as KANG SEUNG YOON, present their artworks under the names Ohnim and Yoo yeon respectively. Kang will showcase black and white photographs taken during various trips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of our fandom and fame, I think we introduce a lot of people who weren\u2019t interested in art to the world of art,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur art or photography shouldn\u2019t be meaningless. That\u2019s why I want to express my feelings in my work &#8230; (A song) is usually three minutes and &#8230; I have to implicitly express all these things in that timing. But I can take a photograph whenever I want, however I want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joining them in London will be Canada-born singer, musician and actor Lau, who took up pendulum painting last year and will display five artworks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike my musical performances, what I did was I actually thought about the location, picking my paints, what I was going to use, my canvas, just every little thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d wanted to make it sort of like an entire performance, but like a performance, no matter how much you practise and prepare there were some unexpected things that happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lau said examples of this included unplanned droplets of pink paint in artwork \u201cStarry\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about balancing art with music, the classically-trained violinist said: \u201cI\u2019m &#8230; just trying to do these two as much as possible. I think that\u2019s what\u2019s really helping me get through these times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-art-kpop\/from-stage-to-canvas-k-pop-stars-prepare-for-london-art-exhibition-idUSKBN2BW057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEOUL (Reuters) &#8211;
