Brilliant Waves: Heekyung Kim

BLANK SPACE is proud to announce an exhibition of works by Korean mixed media artist Heekyung Kim. Heekyung Kim is known throughout Korea for her meditative and vibrant mixed media wall sculptures that reflect on her relationship with nature, and the abstract forms that convey a feeling of inner peace and oneness with the universe. This is the first exhibition for the artist with the gallery, and it will be on view in our online viewing room from Tuesday, June 15th until July 31st.

Heekyung Kim builds her brightly colored and beautifully textured relief sculptures from thousands of layers of layered hanji paper, a traditional hand made Korean paper known for its archival properties and soft yet strong qualities. Kim layers and forms sheets of hanji with a binding agent to form expressive and active surfaces that ripple like waves or the petals of a flower.
