Artist’s Talk: Saturday, September 29, 6:30 PM
Leslie Sacks Fine Art,
Brentwood is pleased to present an exhibition of new
works by Minjung Kim. This will be the first American showing of
Kim’s works since her
very successful solo exhibitions at Leslie Sacks Fine Art in 2003 and
2007. The artist will be in attendance at the reception to
give a brief talk about her
new works.
This exhibition will feature several
pieces that embody the basic elements of ink, paper and fire found in the
dense fields of rosettes in her earlier works, but in the new Predestination series
she opens up her pieces, using fewer rosettes and scattering them across
the picture plane. Strung together by delicate trails of black ink, these
rosettes - made of singed, colored and collaged rice paper -
create dynamic, asymmetrical constellations of color and form against a stark white background
of handmade rice paper.
Kim’s first solo museum show outside of
Korea was held in 2003 at the Modern Art Museum of Ascona, Switzerland.
This followed the 2002 publication of Antonio d’Avossa’s Skira monograph, Minjung Kim.
Kim’s works are held in the public collections of the Guan Shanyue Art
Museum, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris,
France, and the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, England. Kim’s first solo
museum exhibition was
held in 1991 at the Injae Art Museum, Gwangju, South Korea. Her works have
also been exhibited at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum,
Shenzhen, Guangdong, China,
Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, Rome, Italy, Museum of Modern Art,
Ascona, Switzerland, the Henry Moore Institute,
Leeds, England, Vittoriano
Museum Complex, Rome, Italy, and the Fondazione Palazzo Bricherasio,
Turin, Italy. Kim was also a featured artist in
the 2009 Venice
Biennale.
Minjung Kim was born in 1962 in Guangju,
South Korea and currently lives and works in Italy, France and the United
States. Kim holds an MFA from Hong
Ik University where she studied both traditional East Asian painting and
classical Western art. Beginning in 1991, Kim attended the Brera
Academy, Milan, Italy, where
she studied the work of modern European
artists.
