2017 Solo Exhibition

2017 solo exhibition

Artist's Note 

Kim So-young's third solo exhibition is a space where our lives, like flowers, are expressed through the colors of light. The artist enjoys telling stories through vibrant colors, and in this exhibition, she captures a variety of colors and emotions through her signature design, "Universe Stars."

In particular, displaying her mother's traditional folk painting (minhwa) and her father's oil paintings alongside her own works offers a deeply meaningful experience. It is a special opportunity to showcase how the love and artistic influences of her family are reflected in her artwork.

Additionally, ceramic pieces inspired by her third Santiago pilgrimage and watercolor paintings created along the journey are also featured in the exhibition, adding richness to the story. This exhibition goes beyond a simple showcase of ceramics, creating a special space where visitors can experience the artist's life and journey firsthand.

Kim So-young began working with ceramics again through her piece "Ceramic Carnation" and has since created a wide range of works, including "Cosmic Stars," "Santiago," "Flowers," "Pets," and collaborative pieces with traditional folk art, breaking the conventional boundaries of ceramics and presenting new possibilities.

This exhibition will be a unique experience, offering a glimpse into Kim So-young's warm sensitivity, delicate expressiveness, and constant spirit of challenge.
