Gallery Jeeum is delighted to present Korean artist, Kim Kwang-Ho’s recent works in the upcoming show. Light, shadows, and objects are three important, intertwined elements in Kim’s works. The artist believes that the relationship between the three elements is beyond the fact that shadow is a combined creation of the existence of light and an object. Shadow is a methodological instrument to search for an ego and to find an answer to the most fundamental and essential question of human beings: “Who and what am I?”
Kim’s subject of focus has always been loyal to the Four Sagunja, also known as the four noble ones or four gracious plants – plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo, this time with the recurring motif of a seemingly tranquil moon in a golden form on the other side. Along in the group of his most recent works are also pieces that shift our attention to other objects such as the human figure, houses, and shapes, some with repeated layers and patterns.
