Myung-Joo Kim: Selected works, 2019-2023
Myung-Joo Kim’s work belongs to the artist’s figurative work in which the world of “fantastic” reigns supreme. Her infinitely poetic but tortured universe recalls the cruelty of romanticism, where all paths lead love to a state of total despair. It conveys the ambiguous feelings of jubilation and disarray that animate every human being.
The artist’s singular expression harmonizes perfectly with the clay material she shapes, while her meaningful and modest range of colours reminds us that true emotion draws on the profound and unfathomable depths of the heart.
