ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I’m Australian. But what asian are you? I wonder if this is simply a trick question tied to a correct answer. Just because my looks appeared ‘unaustralian’ can I identify myself as a Korean, a culture that I’m not completely familiar with? Would I ever be acknowledged without question as an Australian? If I said I was Korean would they have a stereotype to classify me under? In this work, Kim questions her self-identity and seeks to reflect on whether one can simply categorize and label themselves under a culture that is unfamiliar. Would a label determined by appearance satisfy the other? Would there be certain stereotypes within this classification?

​​Phoebe Kim is an Australian Artist based in Berlin. Her works consider self-identity through painting as a process and practice. Using oils and acrylics her paintings are abstract figurative that employ a sense of humour as they respond to conversations and situations of the everyday. Kim is interested in human behaviour, the conflicting nature of cultural identity and the perspective of the other. As a second generation Australian, she shares her personal encounters and conversations she’s faced with and often questions the dialogue that has a sense of ignorance and discrimination.
