The World of Delicate and Rich Sentiment

- On the First solo Exhibition by Painter Kyung Hwa Kim -

by Prof. Yil Lee, the Art Critic


Kyung Hwa Kim's career as an artist is not long. It is three or four years since she began to seriously engage herself in painting. She had lived long (1981-1990) in the United States, undergone repeated operations and her fight against illness continued even after her return to Korea. In spite of these up and downs in her health, she managed to prepare this exhibition, which must be a feat in itself.

The works displayed in this exhibition were done in a period of four years after her return home from 1992 until 1995. The paintings she did in such a short period and what they show to us present a festival of rich colors, where we can hardly notice any shadow of her bitter life, and hence title this essay "The World of Delicate and Rich Sentiment." Most of her works depict the interior scenes, which, unlike the feeble appearance of a woman artist, show a very bold attempt of her own in the composition of works.

When we say an interior scene, it is common to arrange a variety of objects in the interior as a background. However, the interior space, the still life and furniture in her paintings occupy or share the same space and the rich variations on the plane space from the keynote of her painting. To repeat, "the background of an interior space and the objects" in her painting does not exist as a separate entity but integrates into the plane space. Her painting reminds this reviewer of the famous definition of art works by Maurice Denis. "We must recall the fact that a painting is a flat plane covered with colors, which are essential elements of an ordered space, before being a group of horses, interior, or an anecdote."

In the brief interview with the artist, Matisse is cited without any hesitation as her favorite painter. This was expected from her paintings. Her painting style has at a glance the characteristics of Matissesque brushwork in the composition of picture, plane and the use of rich colors. The fact that her painting lacks in the diverse rhetorical flourish of the great 20th century master is partly due to her short artistic career and partly in a broader sense due to the overall climate of modern Korean painting.

To repeat again, the most outstanding characteristic of her painting method is that the entire picture plane, regardless of subjects, is dealt with as a plane of colors. In addition bold patterns are introduced into planes of colors, varieties of patterns are interspersed in her painting. Her harmony of richly colored planes and patterns seem to be not only decorative but also creative for a fresh space. In addition, the nature of "painting of patterns" also plays a role in the creation of picture space.

What played a decisive role in transforming the ordinary interior scene into such a unique picture plane is her deft use of colors, where the patterns on color planes are so well harmonized with one another as to create a picture rich and full of emotion. Not only the still life and furniture but also the wall and floor of the interior are all covered with of colors warm with heat. Even though this reviewer used the term of "festival of colors," her colors really seem to give forth a scent.

In fact, she loves to paint live flowers, not wild flowers in the field, but cut flowers in the vase. This is perhaps with a view to let the flowers give off a richer and denser perfume.

Her paintings in this show present to us the fresh joy and inspiration that make us rediscover through her paintings the secret sentiment of living which we have thought long lost. To add final comment, her paintings are larger in scale than the usual size of paintings, that can be interpreted as part of her enthusiasm that is expected to bring forth a better fruition.
