Piece description from the artist
My work is composed of lines, which are a means of expressing freedom. Sometimes curved, other times straight, the line represents something that exists throughout infinite experience. Colors meet freely and create unexpected forms. When working, I follow the flow of my unconscious mind; the harmony of opposites – absolute and relative, free flowing and driven by rules – is what my paintings express. When painting, I try to be true to myself. Directness is the way to one’s true nature. This nature is not something we make; it is always there – and it shapes everything I create.
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.
