Kim
Jae-Im:
Korea
Kim
Jae-Im belonged to the first generation of Korean Abstract
Expressionists. Since her first one-woman show in Seoul, Korea
in 1960, she has continuously exhibited her works in Europe
and Asia. Although her works resemble those of American Abstract
Expressionist painters superficially, there is a fundamental
difference. For example, she uses Oriental brushes of all
size as if her acrylic paints were links and watercolors.
The expressive ink brushstrokes run in vertical, and diagonal
directions in her recent works to organize the composition
with the lively sense of rhythm. The empty, white background
restrains the wildly dancing, calligraphic brushstrokes of
ink and color. There is a drama of action and inaction as
the titles of some works such as Temporal and Spatial suggest.
Even her use of gold and silver ultimately relate to the traditional
technique of wall painting in Asia where profuse amount of
gold and silver are used. Moreover, one cannot help but remember
the lyrical ink paintings of the 13th century Southern Song
dynasty such as Ma Yuan or Mu Qi. Her act of painting, according
Kim, often emulates the Korean Monk's Dance with graceful
movement and impetuous of temporal and spatial activity by
her act of first applying the paint and then quickly wiping
away, thus crating the silent, empty space with a trace of
painting.
