Heejung
Kim has a distinctive approach to the pattern of Tibetan Mandala and the symbol
of Buddhism with abstract expressionist concerns. Her drawing is also engaged in
an exploration of the stars. Kim liked watching the stars in the sky since she
was a young child, which help develop the various repeated patterns to
create certain shapes, accurate intervals, and natural colors. Both the means by
which she creates, and the works themselves, are striking of a visual
metamorphosis of form. The pattern of light and dark that is generated through
these two processes radiates into achromatic color in her canvas and also has
astonishing graphic effect. Kim’s works show sophisticated surfaces made
up of elegant color-sensitivity combinations whose curves, lines, dotted
patterns and engaging arrays indicate a conspicuous way of perceiving our
surroundings, and speak to her lasting exploration of and attraction with the
built background. Her works also describe the dynamism of sight through her art,
often creating a disorienting perceptual efficacy and taking in the viewer’s
eye. Heejung Kim is a painter based in New York. She received her MFA at
State University of New York at Stony Brook, MA in Art Education at University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, and her BFA at Duk-Sung Women’s University
in Korea. She currently lives in New York and continues her artistic journey by
devoting most of her time to works as a global artist.
