This unknown creature with a horizontally elongated mouth, is an imaginary alien 'Mog' created by the artist 'Neptune(Geonu Park)'.
'The reason why Mog has a long mouth is because he secretly hid spinach that his mom gave him.'
The artist tells the story of Mog, who travels to space searching for a pearl-colored planet to become a human.
He started painting when he wore diapers.
His works such as 'Rainbow between cosmic planets and stars', and 'A Squid Dancing in Pleasure' contain infinite imagination that can only be expressed in concentricity.
For the parents of the artist, who was born with a small hole in his heart, the doodle he drew was by no means doodles.
His mother, a designer, provided the materials for the painting and recreated the doodles he drew into valuable works.
The public has recently begun to pay attention to the graffiti excavation work that a family started to gather precious moments for their child.
In response, the parents said "We don't want to be misunderstood as using my child"
and "I hope that the child's activities will not flow commercially or that other artists' participation will not be misunderstood for wrong purpose"
Recently Neptune Participated in a joint exhibition at Hyundai Department Store with other artists who collaborated on his work.
In the exhibition, manyexperts leading the art and exhibition insdustry in Korea helped produce Mog's character dolls.
In the face of the huge love of family, the genius or commercial move of the young artist is no longer important.
However, he only enjoys the joyful creative act in the infinite imaginary world he unfolds every day.
