Press Release
Harper’s is pleased to announce Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring, Brooklyn-based artist Sung Hwa Kim’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The presentation features new paintings by Kim and opens Thursday, March 6, 6–8pm, with a reception attended by the artist.
Throughout Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring, Kim expands upon his exploration of the traditional Korean white porcelain jar as a vessel from which to study the passage of time. He refers to these paintings as visual haikus: poetic snapshots of ephemeral moments that tend to reckon with a change in season and the climactic evolutions that distinguish it. Amidst these evocative scenes of juxtaposed transitions, Kim uses color liberally: brilliant pastels and hypnotic neon saturate ecstatic landscapes wherein urban greets the pastoral and daytime fades into the night.
Works like Still Life with Jar, Moon Lamp, and René Magritte Postcard exude a dreamlike stillness:...More
