BRYON KIM

Artist Background

 

Many have compared Byron Kim to artist such as Mark Rothko and Ad Reinhardt because of his abstract style. Kim seeks to push the edges of what we understand as abstract painting by using the medium to develop an idea that typically gets worked out over the course of an ongoing series.  His paintings often appear to be pure abstractions, but upon investigation and contemplation, they reveal a charged space that connects to the artist’s personal experiences and whose underlying ideas raise questions about issues from politics to environmentalism to cultural identity.
