“Building Mountains” by Minjung Kim at JanKossen Contemporary

Opening Reception: Thursday, February 2, 2017

Premiere Solo show in New York by the Korean artist Kim Min Jung. Kim uses Hanji paper to “build” modern landscapes, depicting the modern city.

The work of Kim demonstrates her foundation in the traditional Korean calligraphic arts as well as the influence of mid-20th Century abstract expressionism, both of which celebrate the ability to convey energy and spirit through the manipulation of line and practiced spontaneity.
