<< Embracing >>

 

​

‘Embracing’, a new artwork by Dong Young Kim reflects the subjects and formalities explored by the artist for past 10 years. This embracing of the topic had been pursued over 30 years of time. It’s been only a year since the artist had his solo exhibition in Sabae, Japan and in Santa Monica back in 2014, but the sense of inner interval the artwork exhibits is considerably extensive. The positive energy praising the glory of life and the providence of greater being naturally penetrates throughout the canvas. The new artwork portrays affirmation of the artist’s solution in broad width of chastity.

 

The ‘outwardly exposed’ canvas ‘inwardly embrace’ the existence of one’s dwelling and the breath of its life. Instead of synthetic script of universes, genuine atmospheric extent of reality is unlocked. The sense of liveliness and energy was very much attained in artist’s previous series that features four-leaf clover, but in his new series, the artist ‘embrace’ the unacquainted materials and technique to ‘uncover’ the liberal frame and composition, approaching the performance in more open-minded and magnanimity attitude. This is why ‘Embracing’ series are perceived differently from artist’s previous series.
