Artist Spotlight: Jinhee Kim

A selection of recent work by South Korean artist Jinhee Kim, currently based between Berlin and Seoul. With a master’s degree from the University of the Arts Berlin, and a BFA in painting from Hongik University in Seoul, Kim’s paintings have been exhibited internationally. Of her recent work, she says:

“I have been contemplating ways to hold on to the meaning of non-existent objects. From my point of view, the meaning of non-existent objects can be those that I’ve never had or those that are already gone. Even though those non-existing objects have uncertain ways of being or inevitable conditions, I must believe that the abstract concept or the object can exist in any shape at any time. In particular, the process of holding on to the invisible things is interesting.”
