presents
Paintings by Jung Han Kim
SouthWest Art magazine recently named Jung Han Kim as one
of their Top 21 Artists under the age of 31. His paintings
have been described as “combining the classical Baroque
technique of realistic painting with a contemporary impressionistic
sensibility.”
During the month of September Elder Gallery in Charlotte will
host Kim’s first east coast solo exhibition. An artist’s
reception will open the month-long exhibition of new work
recently completed by the artist.
Kim was born in Seoul, Korea and earned a bachelor’s
degree in fine art from Seoul National University and a Masters
of Fine Art degree from the Academy of Art University in San
Francisco. In addition to painting he is a faculty member
at the Academy of Art University.
“Jung is an accomplished artist who possesses tremendous
natural talent. He continuously strives to improve his technique
and is very adventuresome in his approach” says gallery
owner Larry Elder. “In his fairly short time of painting
he has already reached a level of mastery that many never
achieve.”
Elder Gallery’s exhibit will feature numerous paintings
of the San Francisco urban landscape along with Kim’s
figure paintings. In addition, a new series entitled “Store
Window Reflections” will depict images of shoppers being
reflected in store windows with mannequins and various items
on display.
Kim’s work was included in Elder Gallery’s Emerging
Artists 2006 exhibition which was held earlier this year.
The artist will be present during the opening event to discuss
his latest work.
Jung Han Kim, Solo Exhibition will run through September 30,
2006.
