Heejung Kim displays the expression of stars using the geometric pattern of Tibetan Mandala and the symbol of Buddhism with abstract expressionist concerns. Ever since she was a child, Kim loved watching the stars. It inspired her into creating the various repeated patterns to create certain shapes, accurate intervals, and natural colors. The pattern of light and dark that is generated through these two processes radiates into a chromatic color in her canvas and also has astonishing graphic effect.

Kim’s works show sophisticated surfaces made up of elegant color-sensitive combinations whose curves, lines, dotted patterns, and engaging arrays indicate a conspicuous way of perceiving our surroundings, and speak to her lasting exploration of and attraction with the built background. In addition to the geometric patterns, Kim’s inclusion of things in everyday life add to the already complex visuals of her work. Her works also describe the dynamism of sight through her art, often creating a disorienting perceptual efficacy and taking in the viewer’s eye.

Heejung Kim is an Artist based in New York. She received her MFA at State University of New York at Stony Brook, MA in Art Education at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, and her BFA at Duk-Sung Women’s University in Korea. She currently lives in New York and continues her artistic journey by devoting most of her time to works as a global artist.
