About the Item

Artist Comments
A portrait emerges from different-colored and metallic golden dots, forming a serene yet enigmatic face against a black background. Subtle shifts in color bring out her delicate features. Artist Hyoungseok Kim painted this piece using pointillism. He emphasizes nature's material and scientific features by expressing the flow of particles. Hyoungseok bases his thinking and ideas on materialism and natural science.


About the Artist
Artist Hyoungseok Kim produces contemporary figurative work using pointillism as his preferred technique. “My artwork focuses on the story of communication and connection between all things in the universe,” says Hyoungseok. He enforces pointillist methods to emphasize the material aspect of his colorful compositions, representing the energetic behavior through a flow of vibrant dots and particles. His art gravitates toward representing people captured in everyday occurrences. Hyoungseok pursued a BFA and MFA degree in art, achieving his childhood dream of becoming an artist. Today, his home studio in Dacula, Georgia, doubles as a small wood workshop and painting space. He uses reference photos to recreate and transform beautiful renditions of the ordinary and mundane. Aside from his artistic endeavors, he enjoys crafting bespoke audio systems. Music always plays from his handmade speakers to accompany him as he paints.
