Lacey Kim
About
Lacey Kim was born in South Korea. She received B.F.A degree in Seoul Women’s University in Korea, M.A degree in Nottingham Trent University in the UK, and M.F.A degree in Pratt Institute, NY. Her work has been exhibited in numerous cities such as New York, Chicago, Miami, and Seoul.
Kim’s work is expressed through lines. It distances itself from the actual world. The "Line," among other forms, has been a means and messenger of expressing "being free". It has various forms, sometimes curved, other times straight. In addition, it shows a feeling of being sometimes slow and sometimes very fast. Kim wants to express and feel with viewers something that exists not just in one field, but can engender the infiniteness of the world through the language of lines.
Kim believes that the deep spatial effect created by various layers urges the viewer’s senses to transcend the two-dimensional world of painting. Lines and colors combine to form images with a new potential by meeting one another freely and creating unexpected forms.
When expressing lines in her work, she follows the flow of unconscious mind, but she believes that unconscious gestures are distinguishable from messy ones: these intuitive gestures are not so much confusing as consistent. The harmony of opposites - conscious and unconscious, real and relative, free flowing and driven by natural rules - is what she is trying to express in her paintings. The mode of expression is itself a paradox between order and entropy.
