Hak Kyun Kim
Deacon | Summit Presbyterian Church New Jersey USA
Exhibitions since 1992, Hak Kyun’s work has been exhibited all around the world from New York to Korea. His last solo exhibition was in 2021 in Seoul Korea “ Come back Home.” He is a member of Korean American Contemporary Arts, Korean Fine Arts Association and AHL New York Foundation.
“My work balances passive degeneration and active regeneration through the reinvention of SUPER characters. “Super Baby” and “Super Dog” embody society’s changing attitudes, norms, and values. My work reveals how we as a society are under the sway of negative views about the contemporary era; this negative creative will manifests itself in my work as expressions that look innocent, such as satire, humor, and cynical cuteness, as well as through exaggeration and transformation of form. At the same time, my work conveys stronger hope by overcoming despair through the spirit of play with SUPER characters and provocation of thought—in the hope that my joyful thoughts become compatible with what my works ultimately express as meaningful.”
