Joonun Kim brings easily accessible objects and images from daily life into the canvas after undergoing slight modifications. Sharing what is seen through her eyes as a painting serves to treat life as research material; at this moment, life and objects take on an equal stance for her. To share her keen observations, Joonun Kim employs painting, strategizing to communicate using the most recognizable images possible. Subjects with simple compositions and easily recognizable appearances generally have subtle emotional expressions and exist embedded within the painting. Those objects stuck on a thin canvas and not absorbed anywhere, are deliberately presented with reduced weight, being conveyed to the viewer’s subconscious. While the subjects in the paintings seem to occupy a prominent position, they leave behind a faint, ghostly afterimage, conveying an inexplicable melancholy to the viewer. She has made an effort to paint simple subjects in such a way that life and objects appear differently to the viewer.

Joonun Kim expresses the inherent anxieties in everyday landscapes through painting. Assuming that personal lives are a result influenced by social structures, she documents the strangeness derived from minor aspects. Instead of showcasing anxiety and trauma directly in her works, she subtly captures the landscapes left behind afterward. In this surreal space-time, questioning whether it's reality or a dream, she maintains a sharp perspective by observing her surroundings. To avoid being swept into apathy or making rash judgments about situations, she disciplines himself to maintain a moderate level of objectivity. Her major exhibitions include the solo exhibition "Time Dilation" (2022, Sahngup Gallery), and group exhibitions "And Live" (2021, Art Space Mullae), and "Mind Sculpture" (2021, BGA).
