Ken Gun Min’s paintings explore intimacy, masculinity, and representation across cultures, while employing a mixture of western-style oil paints, Korean pigments, embroidery, and beading on raw canvas. Often featuring nude and queer-coded men, his portraits and lush landscapes concoct fanciful idylls filled with longing, melancholy, and euphoria. Stranger by the Lake (Bare Ass Creek) is Min’s tribute to a once-popular LA nude sunbathing and trysting spot in Angeles National Forest that was ravaged by fire in 2009.
