Minju Kim

Minju Kim is a multidisciplinary artist, born in South Korea and based in London. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including London, New York and Seoul.
She explores desire as a main subject matter alongside the concept of life and death, inspired by human anatomy and psychoanalytic theory. She has worked with Adidas London for celebrating Women’s Month in 2022 and her painting raised a significant amount of funding at the charity art auction held in Sotheby’s London in 2021.

"Consciousness and corporeality are inevitable elements of human life. In diverse media, my work attempts to embody the sublimation of the human desire into perpetuity."
