Eun Kim Exhibition
Kips Gallery
This event has ended.
At first sight, the works of Eun Kim looks like drawings on canvas, but at closer inspection It is actually oil on canvas. With a very sparse palette where delicate grays hues are the basic chromatic scale to render these very exacting and work intensive paintings.
On a empty background, the artist usually shows a half length female figure, mostly from profile, Interacting, or in company, with diverse faunas. In one painting, the metaphor of “Leda and the Swan” has been replaced with a mythical fish whose tail is more like a gossamer skirt caressing her body giving the work a nice sexual overtone. The evanescence of the butterflies are more prevalent in other works. Only in a triptych, where the butterfly actually touches the nose of the figure is it rendered in color, giving it life, or it the other way around?. Most of the work are speckled with shower-like of gold speck which adds a nice sparkling effect . Mostly drawn out of color, the work of Eun Kim, express a very deep psychological undercurrent. In a strange contrast, with all it’s delicate rendering, Eun Kim’s paintings are more completely of a expressionist nature, which she dare the world to see.
