Doyeon Kim

Kim Doyeon (b.1992) centers her work on how personal experiences are shared, aiming to evoke a sense of coexistence that includes even invisible elements of life through both individual narratives and broader dialogues with all living beings. She has created a series of drawings in response to letters received from exhibition viewers and has organized two-person exhibitions through exchanges with artists who share similar bodily experiences. Kim primarily works with finely detailed oil paintings and prints, employing a meticulous, persistent drawing technique that incorporates her own stories and gestures, expanding the possibilities for communication. Kim earned her B.F.A. in Contemporary Art from Konkuk University, Seoul, KR, and her M.F.A. in Fine Arts from Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Her solo exhibitions include From, Kim Doyeon, EveryArt, Seoul (2022); CRR, Space Illy, Seoul (2021); Don’t Engage with Snowflake, AlterSide, Seoul (2021); and A Dog, A Bird, A Pot, Uhjjuhdah Gallery 2, Seoul (2019). She has also participated in group exhibitions, such as Mountain–Halyang, Chamber 1965, Seoul (2023); A Story That Never Happened, Gallery Inn HQ, Seoul (2023); OOOOO, ooooon, Seoul (2022); Performativity as Painting, TINC, Seoul (2021); Now Let’s Break the Bed, Art Space Pool, Seoul (2019); and New Drawing Project, Yangju City Chang Ucchin Museum of Art, Yangju (2018).
