Dami Kim, Korea – Exhibitor Oxford International Art Fair 2017

“My current artworks continue to develop on neo-expressionism, and pursue the unpredictable painting style of Gerhard Richter.”

“First of all, my paintings are still based on photography. The photography is not specialized in a certain field, but I would like to emphasize that it is an important part that plays a connecting role to express images and emotions that are good to me through paintings. I believe the many colors and bolder brush strokes I use are allowing me to enter the realm of neo-expressionism that is semi-abstract in form. My intention to express the energy I feel from nature, or other intangible things, is also a small message I throw at my viewer. It is the perhaps cliche message of realizing the beauty of nature and holding it precious. The semi-abstract artworks (ex-parady paings, Life Drawings) that express personal stories of people who feel pain, sadness, joy, and happiness in nature, are expressed using the unique sense of color of the artist.”

“My Artworks are Passion on my life and serious way of seeing from my soul.”
