Soonnam Kim
Korean Contemporary Art by Soonnam Kim - New Symphony No. 28: Four Noble Truth 7

2022

About the Item

Oil on linen Soonnam Kim is a Korean artist born in 1969. Kim studied painting at Changwon National University (BFA) in Korea and New Jersey City University (MFA) in the US. She taught art at Kean University in New Jersey for ten years before moving to Germany in 2014. There, she visited many art museums and galleries, met artists, and traveled to various places in Europe and India, where she attended Dalai Lama’s teaching. Kim returned to Korea in 2019 and now works as a full-time artist in Seoul. Kim’s art has evolved from semi-geometric lyrical abstract to more curvilinear abstract composition over the last 30 years. Her current series, New Symphony, is inspired by classical music and Buddhist philosophy. She uses oil paint and a palette knife to create harmonious arrangements of lines, colors and dots on canvas. Painting is a way of meditating and liberating herself from the attachment of mind. She wants to share this peaceful energy with the viewers and invite them to connect with their own emotions and memories. Kim has had 16 solo exhibitions and participated in many group shows and art fairs in Korea, the US, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and more. Her work has been reviewed by the New York Times (2005), and she had the honor of being selected as one of 46 artists for An Exhibition from the Archive of Korean-American Artists Part 2 (1989-2001) by AHL Foundation New York in 2014 and exhibited at the Queens Museum of Art. She also had the honor of having a solo exhibition at the World Heritage Tongdosa Museum in Korea in 2022. Her works are collected by individuals worldwide.

    By Richmond Burton
    Located in Cody, WY
    Richmond Burton’s works are known for their kaleidoscopic color, undulating patterns, and lyrical handling of expressionistic mark making. His Visceral, seductive, and organic compositions play with decorative patterning without compromising a conceptual backbone. Their intensity of vision allows for transcendent thought, experience, and connection while challenging any preconceived norms or rules defining abstract painting. “Structure is never absent; it’s just uninsistent, even accidental. The paintings are built up in stages, but never give the impression of being hard-worked. They have a fluid, textural presence, like luxury fabrics printed with overlapping, off-register layers of patterning.” — Holland Cotter, The New York Times (1999). Richmond Burton (b. 1960, Talladega, AL) obtained a BA in architecture from Rice University Houston, TX (1984). He lives and works in Woodstock, NY. Burton has shown extensively both domestically and internationally and has work in the collections of The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; The Broad, Los Angeles, CA; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX; Fogg Museum at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, NY; and National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, among others. Recent solo exhibitions include venues such as Sarah Moody Gallery of Art at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL (2015); Silas Marder Gallery, Bridgehampton, NY (2014); Philip Slein Gallery, St. Louis, MO (2013); and George Lawson...
