Seoul, b. 1997
SoYeong Kim reflects on urban life through photos taken in daily life, capturing fleeting moments that evoke a sense of both illusion and emptiness. Her work is characterized by creating illusionary scenes by adding painterly ambiguity to real landscapes. She paints by repeatedly layering vertical strokes of acrylic paint on traditional Korean paper (Jangji). The unique textures created from the combination of Jangji and acrylic form the depth and richness of her works. The warm texture of Jangji contrasts with the cold, artificial texture of acrylic, and through the brushstrokes, these elements merge to create a dualistic atmosphere in her compositions.

A LANGUAGE OF FLESH AND SHELLS
SoYeong Kim listens to subtle hesitations. The artist shines a light on moments of silence that occur before speech, such as the space between movements, moments that are both a preparatory process for expression and an expression in themselves. Silence reveals itself by not revealing anything. Just as one must remain silent to hear the chirping of birds, the artist understands that humans are no different. By focusing on silence, the artist recalls that expression is not a completed act but an ongoing process — an incomplete moment that can branch into various forms. SoYeong Kim illuminates the regrets and longing for the moments of differentiation blurred in daily life and faces the anxiety of the impending moments of separation. Through the blending of expression and silence, SoYeong Kim’s work seeks to capture human nature within the ambiguous horizon where completion is always impossible.
