Hyoung-Moo Kim's Solo Exhibition
by Ganainsa Art Center
Location: Insa Art Center
Artist(s): Hyoung-Moo KIM
Date: 5 Sep - 10 Sep 2012

A city where modern people live mainly is surrounded by countless images. Many of them are symbols of system, power and desire, and images for products. Our life is not free from those symbols and images. An artist is who examines how those images perform their role. Artists produce visual images and agonize mechanism and effects of them. Also, mechanical and bulk of contemporary images produce following works to fill and depend on them. Thus, artists find existing images and recreate them, rather than create something by themselves…
In his works, building structure and interior view with sharp and dry vertical and horizontal lines are used and this geometric space are painted by colors and faces. That is a unrealistic and abstract space and even can be surrealistic, like a psychologic space. This psychologic space is a result of contemplate space to the artist. Small people in paintings look forceless and they show an empty existence. But they gaze somewhere and keep walking in each thoroughly divided section… That is the landscape of artist's sense and non-existent, thus he calls it as 'Heterotopie'.
