Cats Everywhere in Life. Sticker Art by Korean Artist Hyejin

How has everyone been this year? While recent years have brought unexpected changes and crises, we've all been trying to find happiness in our daily lives. I believe that the furry companions and cats by our side are a source of happiness! Size: 150mm * 105mm Each one is incredibly cute! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja9Zu-s4dwk No matter where you place them, they're utterly charming. Transform your home into a space you truly love, with cats hiding in various spots, like a treasure hunt. These small items bring warmth to the heart. They remind us of our own furry friends, their mischievous glances, their aloofness when you want to pet them, or their clingy affection – the everyday companionship. These moments are so precious. You can find all this beauty in these cat-themed card stickers. We hope you'll bring them into your life as companions. In the corner of each card, a cat is hidden. Cats in life, cats in the details, cats everywhere – what a blissful thought! Card Size: 100mm * 152mm A set of cards that includes envelopes. Each design features a large cat, blending Korean folk art with modern elements, and incorporating a touch of retro style from the Joseon Dynasty. The collision of tradition and modernity is incredibly charming. We hope you can also enjoy the leisurely contentment that cats bring through these artworks. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923122_7fa4da2c9f_c.jpg Hyejin's cats diligently accompanied her during her creative process, and now we can bring these beautiful depictions into our lives. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791102220_ba02803a86_c.jpg Framed, they become perfect pieces of home decor. These postcard-sized artworks offer endless possibilities – use them as cards or as charming art pieces. We recommend purchasing multiple pieces to create a curated collection! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791102245_abb81a4ae9_c.jpg The SEA ice team proudly presents the hand-painted artworks of Korean artist Hyejin. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791026263_4b1f2dab16_b.jpg There's a small story behind why we decided to represent this brand. At the end of 2024, just before preparing to fly to Korea for a meeting, a sudden lockdown was announced, only to be lifted just before our flight. After arriving safely in Korea, we found ourselves trapped in a subway car. Protesters were flooding in, pushing us so tightly that we could barely breathe and couldn't move. We were almost suspended in the air. We kept wondering what to do, fearing a stampede. We encouraged each other to stay calm, to find ways to breathe, to keep our heads up, and to stand firm to avoid falling. Fortunately, after a few stops, the overwhelming crowd disembarked at Yeouido Station, leaving us shaken and in tears. A few stops later, we exited the subway and unexpectedly stumbled upon Hyejin's exhibition. The cats' languid and serene postures instantly calmed the storm of fear and shock we had just experienced. We felt as if we had found solid ground again. From the bottom of our hearts, we truly felt how wonderful it is to have cats in this world. Hyejin's cat creations are a true treasure. And so, this unexpected agency came to be. 🤍 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791025978_c361304614_c.jpg Hyejin's style combines modern sensibilities with traditional Korean techniques, developed through slow, deliberate creation and hand-painting. We deeply admire the retro, nostalgic feel in her works, which are rich with the folk art scroll style of Korea's Joseon Dynasty. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923222_46ac7b4975_c.jpg Every stroke outlines exquisite details, creating works that can be admired for a long time. Creating art with traditional Korean craftsmanship requires immense patience. The artist meticulously applies layers of color until the artwork achieves rich depth and saturated, profound hues. Even tiny butterflies and grasshoppers are rendered with delicate soul. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791008469_5cfdb8271f_c.jpg Each painting captures the essence of cats sharing our space. The cats' "unhurried pace" and "quiet companionship" embody the message the artist wishes to convey. Hyejin frequently holds solo exhibitions in Korea and has been creating art for over a decade. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791102340_09288edf64_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923372_b9e7b97b2c_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923357_30bd7feac8_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923327_ebb7b5d094_b.jpg Hyejin primarily uses her own cats as her muses, depicting them as both mischievous and sharp-eyed, embodying that perfectly "fierce yet cute" and distinctive feline personality. There's a sense of conflict and harmony, a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity. She incorporates contemporary styles and characters, depicting the lives and thoughts of animals within traditional art. She utilizes Korean paper, which is less common in the market, and techniques like *gongbi* (meticulous brushwork) for her paintings. This type of paper lends a warm overall tone to the artwork, while the refined *gongbi* lines add intricate detail. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791008479_1a3b230ced_c.jpg This warm feeling and unique combination create a seamless blend with contemporary painting styles.
