MINZO KIM

Minjo Kim was born in Incheon and is currently based in Seoul, South Korea. She received both her BFA and MFA in Fine Arts from Inha University in Incheon. Her solo exhibitions include Gallery IN HQ (2026), Gallery Nook (2023), and Commercial Gallery (2022). She has participated in numerous group exhibitions at institutions and art spaces across Korea, including PIM SEOUL (2026), Project Space Sarubia (2025, 2024, 2023, 2019), Seoul National University Museum of Art (2023), Woosuk Gallery at Seoul National University (2022), Perigee Gallery, Seoul (2022), the National Asian Culture Center, Gwangju (2019), Incheon International Airport (2019), and Incheon Art Platform (2016), among others. Kim paints the places she inhabits and the objects she encounters along her walks, pursuing a practice that values life and existence in themselves, without the need for grand purposes. At the center of her work are man-made structures on the urban periphery, such as installations near the Han River, communication towers, and piers. By layering and recombining multiple photographs of these subjects, she constructs psychological and structural landscapes on canvas that transcend the representation of a single scene.
