The resulting material output begins to feel secondary when you grasp Kim’s distinct mode of operating through life and accompanying artistic practice.</p> <p>In what could be considered a destiny-defining moment, as a young child, Kim gravitated toward the Hanji paper in her father’s print shop in Gwangju, a mountainous metropolitan city in the southwest corner of Korea. Decades and many miles now separate Kim from this foundational time, but what remains is her connection to the material at the center of her practice. </p> <p>Over time, Hanji became an extension of Kim’s own body, and in her studio space, feeling determines decision-making. Taking in the 61-year-old artist’s œuvre, one could assume that meticulous planning and consideration of form preclude putting material to surface. Quite the opposite approach, Kim says that when she is creating “it’s all play.” She foregoes any sort of narrative premise and leans in to simply understanding the material and its reactive qualities.<br /></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-section main-section--images pb-3 pt-0"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-10 col-lg-9 col-xl-8"> <div class="row gy-5"> <div class="col-md-12 text-start"> <figure class="figure "> <picture> <source media="(max-width: 375px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=250&q=90&w=375&s=64d9d4a18c9fb05baa6cf65c7b57be5f, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=500&q=90&w=750&s=7c41f60947307b07f7aa099f861387e7 2x" width="375" height="250" > <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=511&q=90&w=767&s=4833993580a5fd61b1f4589067cfc993, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1023&q=90&w=1534&s=767829bc0ba77eea1341c68b13b57cc8 2x" width="767" height="511" > <source media="(max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=682&q=90&w=1023&s=373825161fbe6f0362ad983c264cfbae, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1364&q=90&w=2046&s=853868ae61923f0ef102936a6260a4f7 2x" width="1023" height="682" > <source media="(max-width: 1199px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=799&q=90&w=1199&s=c9afea48444d3a9160ebb8aabf1d6a48, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1599&q=90&w=2398&s=e4895193ab8c295e90dd291796dfde0f 2x" width="1199" height="799" > <source media="(max-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=933&q=90&w=1399&s=592082103722ba8b268dc292de156884, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1865&q=90&w=2798&s=0954ee1cd81c212f81949ccdb6091d28 2x" width="1399" height="933" > <source media="(min-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1120&q=90&w=1680&s=9bc9e9e9deb5c4e23ade87b19064331a, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2240&q=90&w=3360&s=0e04af5535d84b12830e7c909a5f8fb2 2x" width="1680" height="1120" > <img class="figure-img w-auto" src="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8123-2.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1120&q=90&w=1680&s=9bc9e9e9deb5c4e23ade87b19064331a" width="1680" height="1120" alt="TEFAF MINJUNG KIM LI 8123 2" loading="lazy"> </picture> <figcaption class="figure-caption"><p>Minjung Kim in her studio.

The chapters of her life—from childhood, early adulthood, to now—have looked and felt very unalike, but what has endured is her perseverance with the alluring paper she discovered long ago.</p> <p>At an age when most might be settling into a slower phase of life, Kim is just coming into her own, both personally and professionally. In the past few years, following decades of steady ascent, she has been the subject of major institutional exhibitions and significant market attention. Institutionally, Kim’s work has been exhibited at the Hill Art Foundation, Gwangju Museum of Art, the Langen Foundation, and at Palazzo Caboto during the Venice Biennale in 2015. In November 2024, her work will be shown during a solo exhibition at Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul de Vence.</p> <p>Here, Kim reflects on the paths that brought her to today, her kinship with materials, and guiding philosophies that continue to propel her practice forward.<br /></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-section main-section--images pb-3 pt-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-10 col-lg-9 col-xl-8"> <div class="row gy-5"> <div class="col-md-12 text-start"> <figure class="figure "> <picture> <source media="(max-width: 375px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=90&w=375&s=94809383ced9f3e820507275af24e72b, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1125&q=90&w=750&s=82c76d4ba72ecce7138467fc664c5c2e 2x" width="375" height="563" > <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1151&q=90&w=767&s=0ce6805e8fe3d906d0075655412e5e8c, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2301&q=90&w=1534&s=3fbda6061a2806484d9f1655d0707ce7 2x" width="767" height="1151" > <source media="(max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1535&q=90&w=1023&s=d5848b8a9281f1da9bcdf61a7937fed1, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=3069&q=90&w=2046&s=4ff59c43d129ff3bc372dba2d3f78aee 2x" width="1023" height="1535" > <source media="(max-width: 1199px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1799&q=90&w=1199&s=cc9bd66c80d0c572db6031fbcc158801, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=3597&q=90&w=2398&s=5edc17a8a1c3c9c5a6a47dbb9c313cf8 2x" width="1199" height="1799" > <source media="(max-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2099&q=90&w=1399&s=c4e2cb29add0f5c112206c34e7f1b6f8, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=4197&q=90&w=2798&s=84ef94c57a18c349ab6eca6627a09ac2 2x" width="1399" height="2099" > <source media="(min-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2520&q=90&w=1680&s=97b1dac8bc72abd5e123d5ba0068c522, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=5040&q=90&w=3360&s=4880f226aa06a359abf8270020bd483a 2x" width="1680" height="2520" > <img class="figure-img w-auto" src="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8061-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2520&q=90&w=1680&s=97b1dac8bc72abd5e123d5ba0068c522" width="1680" height="2520" alt="TEFAF MINJUNG KIM LI 8061 1" loading="lazy"> </picture> <figcaption class="figure-caption"><p>Minjung Kim burning holes with an incense stick, in preparation of the <em>New York </em>series.

It took me 60 years to truly understand and recognize this aspect of myself.</p> <p><strong>In your studio, we spoke about how</strong><strong> common it can be for artists to feel they</strong> <strong>should </strong><strong>look for external narratives to define their work. You go against this idea, leaning into an internal, indescribable feeling that drives what you create. Has this feeling changed throughout your life or are you always following a similar feeling in your work?</strong></p> <p>In the midst of both depressive and joyful moments in my career, a weariness with life overcame me. I began questioning my existence, contemplating the essence of why I am in this world.  Striving to comprehend myself, I realized that, like an entire cosmos, each individual harbors depths within.  </p> <p>I discovered the more I knew myself (while acknowledging that one may never fully know oneself), my identity became a practice of my art. My art is a consolation of daily life, providing me with a reason to be. I have always wondered about my profession’s contribution to the world. Perhaps, by practicing my inner peace through artistic expression, I could offer the world a small sense of calmness. I figured this could be my reason for being in the world, and ultimately, my humbled reason for being an artist.<br /></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-section main-section--images pb-0 pt-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-10 col-lg-9 col-xl-8"> <div class="row gy-5"> <div class="col-md-12 text-start"> <figure class="figure "> <picture> <source media="(max-width: 375px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=250&q=90&w=375&s=309486b050a23f4a2e97fd491b20c2a8, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=500&q=90&w=750&s=3580a88995c8eafd0fff4f058604777d 2x" width="375" height="250" > <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=511&q=90&w=767&s=a051b3d1a38492cabc5fc93933503006, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1023&q=90&w=1534&s=cb685009e9c58e4ecd6b190d47a66954 2x" width="767" height="511" > <source media="(max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=682&q=90&w=1023&s=f2d3dace03ca98312321af35a3b69a84, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1364&q=90&w=2046&s=5c800758a56ed8aacbfd5887d6179fb3 2x" width="1023" height="682" > <source media="(max-width: 1199px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=799&q=90&w=1199&s=0e7d7eb310dea02dbd1a1a33c02c6eeb, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1599&q=90&w=2398&s=293880c6a22d16560f01f9d1424a2d8c 2x" width="1199" height="799" > <source media="(max-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=933&q=90&w=1399&s=73cca23992be56093d4faf00d3990b80, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1865&q=90&w=2798&s=f4851e26ccb8d01337f73ee1da1c239b 2x" width="1399" height="933" > <source media="(min-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1120&q=90&w=1680&s=236a6d7c86d2aa80eb5a991f3b052f03, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2240&q=90&w=3360&s=3e5a921ed5754c2e6adca0f68f5016d3 2x" width="1680" height="1120" > <img class="figure-img w-auto" src="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8495-copy.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1120&q=90&w=1680&s=236a6d7c86d2aa80eb5a991f3b052f03" width="1680" height="1120" alt="TEFAF MINJUNG KIM LI 8495 copy" loading="lazy"> </picture> <figcaption class="figure-caption"><p>Kim’s studio with her work <em>The Street</em> (2023) on display.

Do you see your work as existing within a certain canon of art?</strong></p> <p>I always bear in mind that art finds its expression through materials. I chose paper simply because I have been playing with this material since I was four years old. I believe that an artist has to play, and when we are joyfully playing, we transcend ourselves, leaving behind our suffering and our conscience. When we lose our conscience, we can return to a state of purity reminiscent of our childhood self, where we knew nothing but understood everything. This is the status I want to maintain throughout my life and in my practice. </p> <p>I have never thought about which canon I would be involved with or be described by, nor have I thought about grouping practices. Surely, my art should belong to my own time. <strong><br /></strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-section main-section--images pb-3 pt-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-11 col-xl-10"> <div class="row gy-5"> <div class="col-md-6 text-start"> <figure class="figure "> <picture> <source media="(max-width: 375px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=90&w=375&s=e71dcb20cb8b3c2c2c4404edfb343c84, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1125&q=90&w=750&s=75145a0d89386cf5c7dfec8748377ed8 2x" width="375" height="563" > <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1151&q=90&w=767&s=c3eead342ed14dc16c3f5f65e6b54859, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2301&q=90&w=1534&s=699b7599c92cc6fbea62d38304f7f2d2 2x" width="767" height="1151" > <source media="(max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=767&q=90&w=511.5&s=84806c0e0684a977af121ceaf9775626, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1535&q=90&w=1023&s=d686cf9b00c883de9876c6e66d0c9be3 2x" width="511" height="767" > <source media="(max-width: 1199px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=899&q=90&w=599.5&s=5644691d3c2e8b206f7eeacd7a6a9a13, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1799&q=90&w=1199&s=bdfa1914315d5796d8a99fa768a2cea4 2x" width="599" height="899" > <source media="(max-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1049&q=90&w=699.5&s=314d57974eaf4dbf8b7784e300761ee4, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2099&q=90&w=1399&s=7bd505e3cbb658ec7d710700b632dbbb 2x" width="699" height="1049" > <source media="(min-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1260&q=90&w=840&s=1460016f0af35b863b407d20022982bb, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2520&q=90&w=1680&s=d580c01f3f30dfa42020d770ecd4bef7 2x" width="840" height="1260" > <img class="figure-img w-auto" src="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8438-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1260&q=90&w=840&s=1460016f0af35b863b407d20022982bb" width="840" height="1260" alt="TEFAF MINJUNG KIM LI 8438 1" loading="lazy"> </picture> <figcaption class="figure-caption"><p>Details from Kim’s studio.

Do you feel this duality within your work and is it something you are actively working to balance?</strong></p> <p>Yes, my practice naturally became a kind of duality. It is a combination of Hanji paper (crafted in Korea) and my experience of more than 30 years in Western culture. Anything I express on top of the paper is a reflection of tradition and the cultures I have experienced in my life to date. Since I have been using these materials throughout all my life, I naturally honor them.  </p> <p>The Hanji paper is crafted by masters. They give all their breath and physical power to create it, utilizing the amazing quality of the mulberry trees. For me, it feels as though someone has already created incredibly beautiful minimal art, and I am adding my action to fill up someone’s immense efforts. It also feels as though I am not creating on my own but more so collaborating with the existing, invisible, and unknown people’s efforts, serving their tradition.<strong><br /></strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-section main-section--images pb-0 pt-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-10 col-lg-9 col-xl-8"> <div class="row gy-5"> <div class="col-md-12 text-start"> <figure class="figure "> <picture> <source media="(max-width: 375px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=90&w=375&s=48b717c7301e7a9a5b8480e54c45ecc0, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1125&q=90&w=750&s=8c74acdae56136106f94910f066b6f4a 2x" width="375" height="563" > <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1151&q=90&w=767&s=a9314ee95dc1b634351eafe14a7926ba, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2301&q=90&w=1534&s=b49ef03f8e4513ad6ca04e67d0b5e704 2x" width="767" height="1151" > <source media="(max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1535&q=90&w=1023&s=394518fc528fa315f8625027dc5013ce, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=3069&q=90&w=2046&s=7d88aaa94f42b8df80184bd952512961 2x" width="1023" height="1535" > <source media="(max-width: 1199px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1799&q=90&w=1199&s=15a202388bac8d1ac58e2f188505be76, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=3597&q=90&w=2398&s=5bc755eceb403f567a53ee1deadd7674 2x" width="1199" height="1799" > <source media="(max-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2099&q=90&w=1399&s=a3199544797cde04cfe8a7a600fa4fe0, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=4197&q=90&w=2798&s=3dec6b5fc57dd34676cfbf5a75a2de08 2x" width="1399" height="2099" > <source media="(min-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2520&q=90&w=1680&s=1c68e9f1d1cc6b1aff6bc64c48ba5547, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=5040&q=90&w=3360&s=0684f0d174bf3f16b196ca2c33ea0000 2x" width="1680" height="2520" > <img class="figure-img w-auto" src="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8259-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2520&q=90&w=1680&s=1c68e9f1d1cc6b1aff6bc64c48ba5547" width="1680" height="2520" alt="TEFAF MINJUNG KIM LI 8259 1" loading="lazy"> </picture> <figcaption class="figure-caption"><p>Phasing series process.

Does your practice change when you are working in either location? What do you love about each home?</strong></p> <p>New York City and the South of France have very different atmospheres, philosophies, and attitudes of people toward life. When I practice my art, I enter into my space where my spirit and my feelings are fields in the air. This remains the same wherever I am, as when I am in my working space the outside world doesn’t interfere with my thoughts. </p> <p>I cherish the South of France for its light, its peace, and its deep-rooted traditions. French culture is really at the service of its own tradition, resisting change in spirits and circumstances. Whenever I come to New York, everything changes within one to two years. There are new buildings, new people, new businesses, it is so fast paced. I love both places so much that wherever I am, I don’t miss the other place. I enjoy the duality and the balance of these fast and slow-paced lifestyles. <strong><br /></strong></p> <p><strong>Who was an early artistic inspiration to you and why? Who is a current artistic inspiration to you? </strong></p> <p>When I was very young, I was deeply in love with Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael. When I started as an art school student in Korea, I began to look at modernist artists such as Paul Klee, Kandinsky, and Calder. After that, I became attracted to American Abstraction and the work of Robert Motherwell, Franz Kline, and Carl Andre—the masters of the 1950s and ’60s. When I moved to Italy, I was hugely inspired by Lucio Fontana and Alberto Burri. And currently, I look up to Vija Celmin, Agnes Martin, and Ruth Asawa.<br /></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-section main-section--images pb-0 pt-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-11 col-xl-10"> <div class="row gy-5"> <div class="col-md-6 text-start"> <figure class="figure "> <picture> <source media="(max-width: 375px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=90&w=375&s=093f472ad5e82da7a594af2449d1798e, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1125&q=90&w=750&s=7ca0c82ba298528f2c6245636ff9de7f 2x" width="375" height="563" > <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1151&q=90&w=767&s=0a5cece1aaae5d2214831346e03ca6d6, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2301&q=90&w=1534&s=52a62c20532ba9127eb626150a4d6970 2x" width="767" height="1151" > <source media="(max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=767&q=90&w=511.5&s=34cf3da51da7ee1233f337c798e26488, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1535&q=90&w=1023&s=3a7572a0fe40539fe2a80c6f14fe73f3 2x" width="511" height="767" > <source media="(max-width: 1199px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=899&q=90&w=599.5&s=2b84da2c23ee83315ffa00e6fffa3462, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1799&q=90&w=1199&s=9e4dcd9c9a93948f7b47a5883417b49c 2x" width="599" height="899" > <source media="(max-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1049&q=90&w=699.5&s=d2bd2cb11b4295a4b80f14b80be854ca, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2099&q=90&w=1399&s=e8c797e0ff3b3b9dc3d1343c28871a88 2x" width="699" height="1049" > <source media="(min-width: 1399px)" srcset="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1260&q=90&w=840&s=5ccd7277f0a1af3c4226f6d382b6f902, https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=2520&q=90&w=1680&s=2bb9962a3997bf0984221a548e779877 2x" width="840" height="1260" > <img class="figure-img w-auto" src="https://tefaf-fair.imgix.net/assets/TEFAF_MINJUNG_KIM__LI_8279-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=1260&q=90&w=840&s=5ccd7277f0a1af3c4226f6d382b6f902" width="840" height="1260" alt="TEFAF MINJUNG KIM LI 8279 1" loading="lazy"> </picture> <figcaption class="figure-caption"><p>Details from Kim’s studio.

It has beautiful vivid yellow-colored leaves, which I am sure will fill my mind with beautiful color chapters. The practice of an artist is filled with mystery, and I don’t know until I pick up the brush where it will take me. I don’t want to plan, and there isn’t anything I want to do. I want it to come naturally. Without wishes and expectations, my art becomes more serene. <br /> </p> <p><strong>If you could share one piece of advice </strong><strong>with an artist of the emerging generation, what would it be? </strong></p> <p>Don’t force yourself too much to create art. Live faithfully and serve your life. Please your soul—then something will come from within.</p> <p><br /> <em>Minjung Kim is represented by TEFAF exhibitors Patrick Heide Contemporary Art and Almine Rech. </em></p> </div> </div> </div>
