Pink Paradise Painting

There are tension forces between individual desires. She addresses the spectrum from a microscopic to a macroscopic perspective. The world stimulates human desires by using competitive structure as a driving force. It is as if one's life attempts to grasp a bittersweet happiness. Her paintings are a discourse of social analysis, a process of clipping media images, and classifying subjects. Her works challenge our sense of emotional honesty. She debates accountability and guilt, forcing us to question our complicity. Like photographs as witness to personal stories, her art depicts individuals as universal archetypes, simultaneously complex and simple, like each of us. Suhyun Kim was born in Busan, Korea.
