Articles Artist Jinhee Kim: Revealing the True Self Through Light and Mundane Everyday Life Jinhee Kim (b. 1990) has continued a painting practice that captures light and trivial everyday moments, transforming the daily lives of the self, others, and the collective “we” into imaginative images.

This project emerged from Daseul Song’s working method, which does not confine images and moving images to mere visual information but recognizes them as objects with volume, recontextualizing or decontextualizing each unit according to the environments through which they circulate.

Articles Artist Choe Sooryeon Recontextualizes Traditional "Oriental" Clichés Choe Sooryeon (b. 1986) observes the aspects of so-called "Oriental-style" imagery and how it is consumed, reflecting these observations in her paintings. To do so, she collects traditional cliché images shared across Northeast Asia from classic Korean and Chinese films. Based on these images, her paintings reveal themes of sorrow, femininity, disconnection from reality, inner Orientalism, doubt, ignorance, and absurdity.
