About the Item
This beautiful blue work on paper is part ofDaru Jung Hyang Kim’s Unfurled work. It integrates the two aspects of her aesthetic and sensibility into one composition. She merges culture and nature, merging East and West, the traditional and the contemporary to signify a traversing across time and space.
While Jung Hyang Kim’s imagery is not necessarily Buddhist, it often depicts—among other subjects—lotus flowers that are naturalistic and abstract, checkered wheel shapes that recall dharma wheels and loose chains of usually small white circles that resemble necklaces or prayer beads. Dotted chains often extend across the work.
The substance of Kim’s work is its lightness, fragility and buoyancy, qualities that approximate aspects of Buddhist philosophy.
Kim’s circles—and her images are most often based on circles, variations of circles or shapes within circles—images of generation, regeneration and change. . She describes her work as “an unfurling,” a gradual revelation in constant renewal and eternal return.
Daru Jung Hyang Kim studied at Seoul National University, receiving her Bachelors degree in 1977. She moved to New York that same year to study at Pratt Institute and received her Masters degree in 1980. Since then, she has been widely exhibited in the United States and Korea, including the Bronx Museum of the Arts in New York, the Phillips Museum of Art in Pennsylvania, and the BenShahn Galleries in New Jersey.
Daru's exhibitions have been reviewed in numerous publications including, the New York Times, Art in America, Art Asia Pacific, Asia Times,Art in Culture, Wolgan Misool, Arts Gazette, Space Magazine, New York Sun, Buffalo News, Golf Herald, Business Week and numerous local newspapers, radio and television.

- I'm Still HereBy Ayse WilsonLocated in Westport, CTAyse Wilson is a Turkish-American artist who lives and lives and works in Connecticut. Her work draws from memory and emotion to remind viewers of youth, innocence and the timeless space we occupy when we are young. She creates lively and childlike characters, finding inspiration in the works of early Italian Renaissance masters such as Fra Angelico. Wilson graduated from Wellesley College in 1991, and pursued her education in Florence. She received her MFA at New York Academy of Art, and later worked as a painting assistant to Jeff Koons for two years. This current series employs the toile wallpaper samples that the artist had lying around her house during lockdown as a backdrop for ambiguous and complicated feelings toward quarantine and domestic confinement. In this work, she is hoping to narrate how fear of the pandemic unknown, coupled with household anxieties, and increased self-awareness contributed to the mixed emotions of security and hostility towards enforced domesticity within a masked world. The toile tradition represented a coincidental parallel with the COVID era rediscovery of old-fashioned pastoral lifestyles, and the embrace of self-reliant artisanal practices like cooking, gardening, sewing, and prescribed homeschooling. Her colorful inscriptions, some original, some appropriated, layer in our contemporary lifestyle, our modern methods of connectivity as well as our high-tech world. The punky playfulness of the neon and fluorescents contrasts with the backdrop of Fragonard-esque imagery and hopes to delivery her messages of love and connection, awareness and newness, hope and emotions, as well as the occasional glossily veiled hostility expressed in certain so-called “love” declarations. The phrases evolved from a previous series addressing the Me Too movement...Category
