Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. In a fast-paced society, moving from city to city, most rarely takes a moment to discern the quirky side of life. In his later years, Leegan moved to San Francisco to attend Academy of Art University for formal training in different artistic styles.
He draws inspiration and motivation from jazz, hip hop, graffiti, more particularly Sponge Bob and Jack in the Box. He’s style varies from cityscapes to a mix of realism and surrealism. Leegan loves to connect a place to a memory and emotional landmark represented in visual expression. Today his art is distinguished with a mix of classic tone with some form of modernism.
