At the age of 47, renowned visual artist and Guinness World Record holder Kim Jung Gi falls dead from a heart attack.
Jung Gi is most renowned for his expansive, razor-sharp works that feature incredibly realistic sceneries, landscapes, and characters. His six original sketchbooks, the first of which was launched in 2007 and the last in 2017, contain some of his best-known works. The popular graphic novels and comic comics Tiger the Long Tail, Paradis, Third Humanity, and SpyGames were all contributed to by Jung Gi. Additionally, he frequently worked with Marvel and DC Comics. In addition to his extensive, detailed friezes, Jung Gi is well known for his videos documenting their development. One of these videos helped him set the Guinness World Record for “longest drawing by an individual.”
According to the artist’s official website, “Kim’s most remarkable creative asset is his memory, which he has acquired over a lot of years.” “He has pushed the frontiers of what many artists thought was possible with his ability to recreate enormously coamplicated scenes nearly perfectly from memory, without the help of references.”
Born in 1975 in South Korea, she graduated from Dong-Eui University in Busan with a master’s degree in art and design.
