About The Artwork
O tortoise, tortoise ,Let your head come out. For if you refuse, I shall roast and eat you - Gujiga Gujiga is a song that reflects the historical nature of the founding of a nation, Gaya. It reveals the domination strategy employed by Suro Group, a leading ethnic group, when they attempted to found a nation. The core of this strategy lies in 'yeeuijeeui' meaning that barbarians are brought under control using the power of the barbarians themselves, which is based on a 'carrot and stick' strategy.In this case contradictoriness between the divine nature of the goddess and a threatening tone of voice is naturally resolved. Koo(龜) and soo(首) are Hyangchal, and the letters 'Koo' and 'Soo' were adopted to transcribe Gom() and Mal(), which mean respectively a goddess and a king. For this reason the theme of Gujiga can be in a declaration that says, 'O Goddess, open out your arms to the age of king'.

South Korea
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. Her paintings have been exhibited in group and solo shows around the world since 2007, including at Gang kuk Samsung Hospital, Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Tom&toms Gallery in Seoul. She was an International Fellowship resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center, USA in 2010. She currently resides and works in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
