Romon Kimin Yang aka Rostarr is a multi-disciplinary artist, painter and filmmaker living and working in Brooklyn, New York. A graduate of The School of Visual Arts where he studied experimental graphic design and printmaking, Early in his career he has managed to produce work in both the art and graphic design spheres, blurring the lines between the two. As a painter he is more widely known for his colorful abstract polymorphic paintings, totemic iconographic characters and mostly black and white calligraphic drawings. Always creating in a freeform and spontaneous manner, he is continually striving to find freedom within style, medium and form, while building upon the visual language he terms "Graphysics," a word that exemplifies the energy and geometric dynamism characteristic in his work. Rostarr is also a founding member of the artist collective Barnstormers, a collective established in 1999 of approximately 40 artists and has participated in solo and group exhibitions on both a national and international level, also extensively as part of the esteemed "Beautiful Losers" show which has toured museums and contemporary art centers worldwide.
In 2010, his 45 minute motion painting film with Soundwalk, entitled "Kill The Ego" was shown at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, Fondation Vasarely in France and at 2010 Venice Short Film Festival.
His artwork has been reviewed in Artforum, Modern Painters, The New York Times, The Village Voice, and Libération among other publications.
