Artist's statement

 

“ Much of my subject matter, both in painting and drawing, is derived from the landscape. Observing and exploring spatial relationships and the ephemeral effects of light and shade have been dominant preoccupations in most of my work both previous and recent. Boundaries are also of interest to me. In my compositions, they may divide, interrupt, or obstruct the narrative or they may be broken, crossed, or submerged, thus generating a feeling of movement or tension. The restrictions of working on a two-dimensional surface have led me recently to experiment with applying actual texture in the form of collage to the surface of the paper or canvas. This provides the opportunity to exploit the possibilities of layering using both tone and colour. I feel it also adds an extra dimension to the physical, visual, and emotional qualities of the work. “

 

Kim exhibits regularly in France and the UK and her work is in collections worldwide. Since 2014 she has been living and working in Farnham Surrey and visitors are welcome at the studio all year round by appointment.
