Rob Gonsalves

Making 3-dimensional or optical illusion effect doesn't always require the environmental settings but it can also be done with paintings only. This contemporary artist and surrealist painter from Canada named Rob Gonsalves creates magical paintings using the effect called magic realism.

He expresses two subjects into one painting - and this is what magic realism is. So his painting gives us an optical illusion that looks like mixing two paintings into one canvas AND it's crazy that even with that, the subject of two painting is very clearly seen!

When he was little, he was full of imagination so he drew the buildings that was only in his imagination. Because of his love to buildings, he studied architecture in college, and worked as architect but didn't put the painting behind since it was his dream since he was child. 

He was influenced by the work of Rene Magritte, a cubism and futurism artist from Belgium, and got fascinated with painting. Then he finally created his own paintings which is mixture of surrealism and architecture PLUS perspective and his unique imagination. 

I liked where two paintings naturally merged into one; sometimes it's hard to tell if there is two subjects into his painting if I don't look them carefully. So please have your imagination added into his painting; you might find more than two worlds that Rob Gonsalves tried to show you.

Yeongdeungpo Time Square

If you think Coex Mall is too far from Trick Eye Museum, how about Yeongdeungpo Time Square (영등포 타임스퀘어, Time Square for short form)? It is similar to Coex Mall except museum and aquarium, but definitely it is close to Hongdae! 

This building received Architecture Award from Seoul-shi, which is given to the gorgeous and beautiful architectures. One thing special about this building is the bridge in the middle, where you can clearly see the bottom while you cross the bridge. I crosses this bridge since I kinda don't want to walk all the way around to go the store across, but I always close my eyes and need to hold on my friends since it's so scary X_X

Of course there are many place to shop! Mostly it is branded stores, so price range is little higher than the ones from Hongdae. But it is also connected with Yeongdeungpo underground shopping center (영등포지하상가, Yeongdeungpo jiha sangga), where clothing is cheap so don't worry! And many more venues: 

It is located at line 1 (blue line) Yeongdeungpo Station. Since it is connected with the station, so you don't have to go outside. From Hongik Univ. Station, take line 2 (green line) and transfer to Line 1 at Sindorim Station. Then off at Yeongdeungpo Station.

Sometimes celebrities are coming to visit Time Square for stage greetings from theater, or events from venues! So you might see your favorite Korean stars when you're at Time Square :)
