Jade Kim

The solo exhibition by the South Korean visual artist Jade Kim, which features his emotional works that guide the viewer on a journey through the mysterious depths of the emotional spectrum and labyrinthine mazes, tying together different artistic realms.

Kim's paintings and sculptures profoundly explore love, depicting a myriad of emotions from joy and happiness to sadness and longing. They are centered around the animated character "MIN" (an incarnation of the childhood version of his beloved wife) and delve into the nuances of love. MIN's dreamy eyes and childlike innocence reflect the purest love, embodying the protection and care between people. Each piece in Kim’s collection tells a different side of the love journey, resonating with viewers personally.

The way she appears in different landscapes reflects the ephemeral nature of memory and its impact on personal identity. As MIN experiences the ebbs and flows of life, she becomes a symbol of stability amid chaos. His use of emotion and personal experience in his art fits within a broader trend in contemporary art that emphasizes the expression of feeling and emotion rather than the accuracy of representation. His exploration of memory and personal identity can also be situated within a larger tradition of artists using personal experience as a source of inspiration.
