Dear friends of art,
We are very pleased to introduce you to the Korean artist Hyeja Kim.
Hyeja Kim is internationally renowned for her large-scale oil on canvas works, which often depict urban scenes at night, characterised by the lights and their reflections. Her paintings combine real and imaginary elements, creating a unique visual experience that transports the viewer into a dreamlike world.
The art critic Ban Yijeong, who has analysed Kim’s works in detail, writes: “Hyeja Kim’s paintings are fascinatingly similar to the structure of Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’ in that they combine different time planes and spaces. Kim’s cities often do not exist in reality, but are a fusion of memory and imagination.” These subjective cityscapes reflect not only physical reality, but also the emotional and psychological layers associated with urban life.
The title of the exhibition “Trans_Reflection #3” is more than just a description. It alludes to the concept of ‘trans-reflection’, a term Ban Yijeong explains as follows: “This new word may mean combining multiple screens (trans) beyond the long-standing attributes of a photo or painting that reflects only one scene (reflection), but it can also mean going beyond the grammar of conventional painting that reflects/reproduces something.” Kim’s works thus go beyond mere depiction and open up new possibilities of perception and interpretation.
