Available works — Mikyung Kim
Korean artist Mikyung Kim crafts tranquil paintings with painstaking care. Each canvas is composed of multiple layers of acrylic paint that are sanded by hand, softening the tone, texture and brush strokes to create a subtle, vibrating surface.
“My works are about my relationship with my surroundings, and the world,” she says. “They are records of my developing awareness of life and the perception of subtle feelings. Geometry is a vehicle that expresses the unfolding, overlaying, emptying, and connecting of my actions on the surfaces. The sense of touch, and the very act of painting, guides me toward the moment in which a painting is done. When the work is finished, it will reflect my way of being and my way of seeing.”

It is like building a structure on a two-dimensional surface: I start with the earth, and move towards the sky. The process itself involves a great deal of anticipation until something finally emerges that can be shared. It is a quiet but intense meeting between my self and the surface of the canvas.
