Jiana KIM
Jiana KIM, a Seoul-born artist, masterfully intertwines the primal essence of soil and the illuminating power of light in her multidimensional artworks. Holding a Ph.D. from Seoul National University, a Master of Fine Art from Montclair State University, and having studied at Parsons School of Design, KIM's creations transcend traditional boundaries, seamlessly fusing painting, sculpture, and installation. Her process involves molding porcelain fragments that have withstood intense heat, symbolizing resilience. Describing her style as "earth painting," she skillfully employs clay and light to craft diverse images dynamically shifting with varying luminosity. KIM's recent emphasis on individual fragments underscores the beauty within each piece. Her global exhibitions, spanning from Belgium to Korea, reflect a profound dialogue between the earthly and the luminous. Awards and a place in esteemed collections mark KIM as an artist who masterfully captures the intricate dance of life through her transformative creations.
