Central to Beom Kim’s practice is a constant questioning of perception and how it relates to the human condition. Often employing an existential humour, his works on paper and canvas dating from the early 1990s manipulate imagery as a social lexicon. Simple, almost naive line drawings and watercolours of objects imbued with an assertive currency reflect his critical, philosophical perspective and suggest formal relationships to Dada, abstraction and Conceptualism. Kim’s works on canvas such as Self-Portrait (1994) subvert twodimensionality and painting, with its cut surface sewn into pockets that hide revelations of self. In the installation A Supposition (1995), the artist stages everyday objects in a scene that instructs us to imagine alternate possibilities for the physical world.
Kim’s series of thirteen paintings Untitled (Intimate Suffering) utilises the maze as visual puzzle to probe the nearly imperceptible line between the real and imaginary. As a metaphor for life’s challenges, the maze explores the concept of free will and the consequences of choice. For the final work of this series, Untitled (Intimate Suffering #13) (2014), Kim selected the largest single canvas available to execute a vast meditation on compassion, anxiety, strategy and nothingness.
