Kim, who has often been inspired by literature, is exhibiting a collection of work created after reading The Hidden Mountain by Gabrielle Roy. In the novel, a self-taught painter sets out on an often-lonely journey of artistic discovery. Driven by some inner force, the protagonist moves slowly north capturing the land and its people in his art. Roy’s vivid descriptions of grand vistas in Canada’s far north have lingered in Kim’s mind and on his canvases.
Kim's second series in this exhibition depicts dense Ontario forests with rows and rows of trees painted in bright and unexpected colours. As with his Canadian north series, the forests are not a specific location. They began in 2016 from photographs and lived experience and have continued to evolve,.
