Seoul-based artist Kim Jungin explores painting as both an extension of the inner self and an expression of resistance. He continually investigates the possibilities of drawing through controlled finger movements and breathwork. He is an artist who works in the field of painting, but also in the field of art.

Kim geometrically reconstructs fragmented memories of wood, cracks, and other elements within a repetitive grid-like pattern, assembling them into a single, cohesive image.

Through these disjointed forms, Kim invites viewers to conceptually engage with the imperfection of memory and imagery, and the interplay between time and memory. His paintings embody the transient nature of time-one that he seeks to slow down and hold within his work.

 

Based in Seoul, Kim Jungin is exploring the brush strokes/actions that fully reflect the inner self and the expression of resistance, and is steadily exploring the possibilities of drawing expressed through the control of finger muscles and breathing.

In particular, the artist assembles images by geometrically reassembling the fragmentary pieces of wood, cracks, etc. that he remembers in a repeating pattern of squares.

Through these disjointed images in his work, Kim invites the viewer to conceptually understand the incompleteness of 'memory-image' and 'time-memory', and embodies the rapidly changing temporality that he seeks to delay through his paintings.
