김학균의 "SUPER" 시리즈는 COVID-19 기간 동안 집중적으로 만들어져 파괴적이고 절망적인 상황에 처한 모두에게 긍정적이고 영감을 주는 메시지를 전하고 있다. 로마 신화에 나오는 빅토리아와 같은 정복과 승리의 신. 다시 말해, 나는 인류의 승리에 대해 말하고 싶어한다.
“저의 'SUPER'가 오늘날 인류의 가장 강하고 큰 희망을 표현하고 있다고 말씀드리고 싶습니다. 내 작품은 풍자, 유머, 냉소적인 귀여움 등 청순해 보이는 이미지로 당대의 부정적 시각을 과장·변신을 통해 표현하고 있습니다. 내가 사용한 캐릭터는 "Super Baby"와 "Super Dog"로 대표되며, 입체적인 일과 평면적인 일을 동시에 하고 있어. 저는 "SUPER"를 통해 절대적인 절망으로부터 더 강한 희망을 끌어내고 싶습니다.” -작가 노트-

Artist statement
The word SUPER, which has become a symbol of power, is recognized as a guardian of justice and human peace.
In fact, the image of Superman as we know was created in Cleveland, Ohio in 1932 by American author Jerry Segal and Canadian cartoonist Joe Schuster.
It is the time when various art trends occurred during 1930s. It was an era where everyone was swirled up between the two world wars which made it the most difficult era of modern humanity.
In order to express various and complex elements of the composition, characters with various identities are sometimes referred to as birth “SUPER”. The meaning of SUPER is beyond reality or “Something Good”.
The Nietzsche Übermensc” superman is used as the American “Superman”. The main core theme of Ubermensh Nietzsche’s thought is downfall. In simple terms, Annihilation is to be in a state of loss of motivation and complete self-absence, whereas decline is a concept that presupposes re-creation.
In other words, the fall of Charatustra becomes a prerequisite for re-creation of the surrounding environment.
What is Hak Kyun Kim's “SUPER” series? It was intensively created during the “COVID-19” period. In “SUPER”, “SUPER” refers to how the human race will overcome the devasting period of the disease and rise. It is created to tell positive and inspirational message for everyone. God of conquest and victory, equivalent to Victoria in Roman mythology.
In other words, I want to speak of the victory of mankind.
Therefore, I would like to say that my (Kim Hak Kyun) “SUPER” expresses the strongest and greatest hopes of humanity today. I add that it is also (pop and neo-pop) in style.
My work is expressed in the ways where the negative views of the contemporary era with expressions that look innocent, such as satire, humor, and cynical cuteness through exaggeration and transformation in form.
The character I used is expressed as “Super baby” and “Super Dog”. I am doing three-dimensional and planar work at the same time.
I want to express a stronger hope from absolute despair through "SUPER ".
