Piece description from the artist
My work is done through lines. Distancing itself from the actual world, it expresses what does not exist in a clear form, and presents a balanced contradiction. Therefore, my work cannot but have an abstract form. The ‘line,’ among others, has been a means and messenger of expressing the state of ‘my being free’. It has various forms, sometimes a round one, and in other times a straight one. In addition, it shows a feeling of being sometimes slow and sometimes pretty fast. I wanted to express and feel with viewers something unlimited that is not restricted to only one field, and to be able to show the infinity of the world through the lines in my paintings.
Growing up in Korea, Kim found art quite naturally. She was a quiet child who enjoyed reading, drawing, calligraphy, and other peaceful activities. After graduating from Seoul Women’s University with a BFA she pursued an international education, completing an MA at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, then an MFA at New York’s Pratt Institute. Each place and experience have informed her creative process. Kim’s work, which is made up of lines that follow the flow of her intuitive mind, has been shown in cities like New York, Chicago, Miami, and Seoul.
