Each one of them is inspiration for my work. When I was a teenager, I suffered severe atopic dermatitis and recovered from skin keloid. Since then, I have been very interested in human faces and created paintings that are a reflection of my own problems and ideals, which are then combined with the model’ s personality and their stories.

Bumin Kim Coalescence
WHERE: Ro2 Art | The Cedars 1501 S Ervay St. Dallas, TX 75215 WHEN: October 24 - November 28, 2020 OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday October 24, 12-6 PM Ro2 will be hosting limited entry mini receptions, please reserve your FREE ticket here: ro2.us/oct24 Bumin Kim continues her exploration on the nature of the line in her newest exhibition, Coalescence. The artist is inspired by the manner in which natural scenes in everyday life and memories can change in color, texture, and form through the progression of time and seasons. Capturing the vibrational energy of texture and playing on the shimmering illusions manifested by the collection of lines en masse, Kim’s work emphasizes a personification of painting. Brush strokes become thread and string, and the flat surface is liberated to breathe into three-dimensional space. In Coalescence, shattered memories and separated entities culminate together to form something altogether whole, and new. Learn More> |

Havekost describes our physical forms as organisms that cannot be fully controlled and wherever they oscillate on the spectrum from beautiful to grotesque, we can learn to fully accept them. Using piercing, pulling, and stitching, Havekost builds and sculpts out her forms. Felt Sense is a curious and fearless embrace of the human body that approaches its vigor and decay without judgement. Learn More>> |
