Recent paintings by Brooklyn artist Sung Hwa Kim. Born in Seoul, Kim received a BFA from the Boston Academy of Arts in 2008 and an MFA from the Maryland Academy of Arts in 2012. His work explores the passage of time through traditional Korean white porcelain jars, a symbol of the ship, a symbol of periodic transitions and existing reflections.
“I invite the audience to consider what a fragile balance between fade and lasting fade. I may write hi sentences, which can: capture short, poetic moments of change that are both deeply personal and universally shared. The colors I use are intentional. The pulses and still moments of the city are interrupted by the transformed vitality, but frozen in a dreamy state of stillness, as if hanging in a delicate barrier between opposing forces.”
Kim presents a scattered world in a brief harmony, guiding the audience across the threshold between the ephemeral and what remains. His work is to reflect on the invitation to shape the intersecting reality that we exist in the earth and the vast universe. For Kim, the collision of time, place and emotion inspired the journey of meditation, which uncovered the exquisite network of bound tangible and transcendent.
