The satirical saga of three artists seeking recognition. But there
can be only one Artist. A novelist, single, forty-four years old. A
painter, divorced, forty-six years old. A musician, single,
forty-two years old. On the outer limits of relevancy in an arts
culture that celebrates youth, these three men make up the artist
group Arcade. Caught in circular arguments about what makes real
art and concerned about the vapid interests of their younger
contemporaries, none of them are reaping the benefits of success.
But there s always another chance to make it. When it comes time,
out of the three, who will emerge as an acclaimed artist? More
important, when one artist s star rises, will he leave the rest
behind? Following Yeong-shin Ma s hit manhwa, Moms, this plunge
into artistic friendships is as hilarious and infuriating as it is
real. With absurdist style and off-beat humour, Artist
simultaneously caricatures and complicates the figure of the
artist. The friendships between the three are impassioned and
mercurial, resulting in conflicts about fashion choices, squabbles
with foreign children, and changes in one another's artistic
fortunes for better and worse. As the story progresses we see the
ways that recognition or lack thereof moulds each character s
outlook, whether they will be changed by the scene or end up
changing it to fit their ideals.
