Born in Seoul and presently based mostly in London, artist Minyoung Kim explores the type of internal ideas and emotions which can be tough to precise in phrases. Utilizing uncooked, un-stretched canvas, Kim portrays ironic scenes in “a delicate method,” making a tone that she refers to as “unusual however cute” or “creepy cute.” Her work mirror on previous recollections or moments of concern in addition to goals or actions that might not be carried out in actual life. On this approach, what Kim initiatives onto the canvas is a part of her personal interiority — “the whole lot inside me that I could not be capable of categorical myself straight.” The photographs usually convey a way of hazard and thriller and include recurring imagery, like a crescent moon or a cat. As Kim explains additional:
“[The cats] at all times look grasping and watch each second that occurs within the canvas as if they’re God-like beings. They might generally symbolise myself, or be cynical photos of contemporary society folks. The combination of those working photos may be seen as a combination of heterogeneity, a dissonance of grotesque traits…. The environment of the portray, surrounded by pastel-toned fairytale and contemporary colors, makes the scenes in precarious conditions appear much more paradoxical.”
