WTF?

Hee Jyung Kim is a South Korean artist who explores and finds the beauty of chaos in her paintings. Seeing chaos as the mixing of opposites: light and dark, inside and outside, consciousness and unconsciousness, yin and yang, she makes them all coexist in her works. By expressing herself with painting, she simultaneously captures the inner self and the meaning of the chaos of reality of the outside world.

Painting is like catharsis to Hee Jyung. It’s a way to get what’s stuck inside to come out. It releases and thereby provides relief from strong emotions from within. This expression is related to this working of the inside and outside, the physical versus the psychological, these opposite sides that coexist, like chaos, together in her work. It offers a deep dive into the fleeting realm of memory-experience, and the physical sensation of the mundane every day, through her body of work.
