"Myong Hi Kim: Portraits" the first exhibition ded

"Myong Hi Kim: Portraits" the first exhibition dedicated to Kim’s paintings depicting female subjects, brings together key portraits that draw upon her peripatetic childhood and experience dividing her time between a remote village in South Korea and New York City. Captured from life, memory, literature and imagination, through life and photographs, her art explores contemporary social issues such as territorial division, rural exodus, migration, and displacement. "The Excursion that I Missed” is the largest work in the exhibition measuring 47 1/2 x 141 3/4 inches. Inspired by a personal experience of a school trip the artist missed out on as a child, the painting tells a story of the loss. A group of young girls, some holding cherry blossoms, stand out from the blackness of the chalkboard. Kim adds her own text over the existing markings on the chalkboard - mathematical notations, random names and informal notes - left by the school children long gone. #myonghikimportraits #artprojectsny #myonghikim

“Spring” by #MyongHiKim.

Light is both fully present and elusive in Kim’s work. In “Spring” a pond flickers in sunlight. The affect of the sun is visible; it sets the leaves across the pond alight, but the sun itself is not visible in the sky. Kim suggests that the scene as first viewed by the artist was also an apparition, a trick of the light.

Although the gallery is currently closed to the public, our current exhibition #myonghikimportraits can be seen on our website and includes “Puzzle” shown here.

Highly regarded for her unconventional oil pastel on chalkboard works, #MyongHiKim is best known for her multi-layered symbolist landscapes and portraits that fuse image, text and myth in imaginative narratives that span time and place.
