Mi-young Kim (36) is an artist who works in a’wet on wet’ method that paints other paints over while wet before the paint dries. ‘Sculptural painting’ or’painting sculpture’, which combines brushstroke, color, and texture of the surface, is not a painting seen only from the front, but gives fun to watch from various angles.
In Kim Mi-young’s solo exhibition’Touch of eyes’, which will be held until the 29th at Leehwaik Gallery in Songhyeon-dong, Seoul, he walked about 20 new works containing a sense of speed that is heavy and flexible as if slowly floating in the water by hardening and building up the texture of the screen for a long time. .
Although it is an abstract work, the shape of putting butter on bread with a knife on the background of lemon, mint and pink painted with a rough brush is reminiscent of a fish swimming underwater or a leaf floating in the water. There is also a work (‘Warm Breez’) that expresses abstract flowers in spring. In the’Painter’s Garden’, purple fish seem to swim in a stream full of plants.
Kim Mi-young said’?On?’ Through the work, the senses and memories of the moment are captured on the screen. The feeling of the body being carried by the current and the feeling of slipping in the snow field remain calm as traces of brushes and knives. “Our five senses are still interacting,” he said. “We paint as if touching with our eyes.”
Miyoung Kim majored in painting at Ewha Womans University’s Oriental Painting and Graduate School, and at the Royal College of Arts in London. He has participated in residency (resident artist) and exhibitions in various places including Paris, London, Iceland, and Finland.
