Kim | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Kim
  • France
Originally from South Korea, Kim will first live in and travel around many different countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the United States and Germany, before arriving in Belgium, where, inspired by Flemish art, she decides to enrol at the ‘École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts’ in Paris. In 2004 she graduates ""cum laude"" (""with honours"") with a series of canvasses in a very personal expressionist style.\n That same year she settles in Lyon and, armed with her newly acquired academic knowledge, she begins to liberate her style. Having learnt the Grand Masters’ sketching and oil-painting techniques, she gradually turns to less figurative creations, where acrylics and mixed media dominate. \n She breathes new life into the figurative and constructs a surprising pictorial universe where the past, present and future mix without blending into to one another. Today Kim is developing the art of fusing texts and images, drawing on graphic and aesthetic influences from her travels across North America, Europe and the Middle East.\n She creates works that do not easily give up their secrets. A simple look is not enough to uncover them fully and only a prolonged observation of these works allows you to discover the many different worlds hidden within. Confrontation is the subject of her work; between different images, urban, symbolic or purely graphic depictions. \n These tableaus reflect life, a reality that fluctuates between the internal and external, between you and it. Kim hopes that her canvases portray as much about the observer’s journey as they reveal about hers and that the attention paid to her creations feeds an original and colourful imagination…and leads you to discover new perspectives.
