Channeling his own experiences as a Korean Adoptee,
Steven Shik explores the notion of identity through cultural origins
and expectations. By applying the filter of his experience as an
Asian American, he recontextualizes Korean symbolism to help
illustrate his emotional disconnection to a culture that they remain
a Spectator to.
Steven Shik currently resides on the East side of Detroit, MI
and is working on two solo exhibitions while serving as adjunct
professor at College for Creative Studies in the Illustration
department.
