Minjung Kim
Minjung Kim (1962)
Minjung Kim holds an MFA from Hong Ik University where she mastered the both refinements of traditional East Asian painting and the fundamentals of classical Western art. Beginning in 1991, Kim attended the Brera Academy, Milan, Italy, where she studied the work of modern European artists. Minjung Kim’s art is primarily concerned with the expression of chi in Chinese, ghee in Korean (life force energy) through a synthesis of Eastern and Western forms and techniques, and those of her own invention.
With her arrival at the Brera Academy and Bottarelli's school, Minjung Kim revised- not repudiated - her relationship with visible nature. Placing emphasis on the contribution made by marks and materials, Minjung Kim animated her landscapes - always produced on paper panels - and transformed them into large curled surfaces in which one is able to recognize waves and rocks. In another series of works, she made close-up studies of flowers, reducing them to pools of color diluted with water.
Giacomo Agosti, Minjung Kim, Milan, 1995
In her most recent work Minjung Kim creates chrysanthemum like rosettes via collage, using a candle flame to shape colored rice paper rings:
…that once concentrically laid one upon the other, generate chronological tunnels or ploughs which make it possible to perceive and cross the transience of time…Furthermore, time has a suggestive possibility of representation through the combustion of the paper itself. The fire represents effectively the quick passing of the facts and their going back to the emptiness.
Roberto Borghi, curator of Event: Process of Artwork by Minjung Kim at the Museo Comunale d’Arte Moderna Ascona, Switzerland, July 13 – August 31, 2003
