'Kim's innovative approach to painting knocked down the distinctions between abstract and representation, two traditionally oppositional concepts, and it allowed him to work in the in-between space of the binaries of form and content, concept and sensibility, and the sacred and the profane...All of his works take the form of extreme abstraction in which everything has been crystallized but they, at the same time, contain rich contents, representing things in the world, revealing his deep personal histories, and exploring possibilities of a transcendental reality.' (Foreword, Ra Hee Hong Lee)
Artist's biography, exhibition history, and bibliography are provided.
