L.E. Kim
The ideal place for my art would be an album cover of a beloved band.
Here I have adapted recent paintings to the square format of vinyl record sleeves, and re-imagined them as the covers for some of the classic albums of my teenage years. I kept the original font and placement of the band name and album title.
Two, or even three, decades later, this music still sounds so good to me.
