Wonsook Kim, Shadow a bird, 2010, Oil on canvas, 30 x 40 in. (76 x 101 cm.)

Dreams of Nature
November 11-30, 2021

The November exhibition will include paintings by Woonsook Kim and ceramics by Geejo Lee, who are both Korean artists.

Wonsook Kim creates story-based figurative paintings that are poetic and ethereal in their fluid execution and mythical subject matter. She accepts that calligraphy has a clear influence on her work because she grew up surrounded by images of this type. Kim’s artworks are the result of her lifetime experiences in Korea and the United States. The highlight among her recent paintings is “Walking the Dryland III” from the series “The Wilderness” (Gwang-ya) paintings.
