Description of the Artwork “Telos 2”
My painting reflects a line-based language, defined by layers and color combinations. I try to be true of myself while I work on each painting. I believe directness of acting and being is the way to one’s true nature. Zen teaches that we spend years forgetting and abandoning this nature, but that we can always access it again. On a blank canvas, I start by applying a coat of primary color, then composing one line after another, repeatedly, answering the call of intuition. What I create flows directly from embracing the experience of making art.
Lacey Kim, United States
I was born and grew up in South Korea. Growing up in the southeastern part of Korea I found art quite naturally. I was more like a quiet kid and rather enjoyed spending time by doing things that did not need too much physical movement such as calligraphy and drawing. From the time I can remember I was always a kind of kid who liked to think, draw, and read. As long as I had the tools I need to draw, I always had such a pleasure expressing what I was doing. And, that led me to think about art for my future. After graduating from Seoul Women’s University with a BFA I pursued an international education, completing an MA at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, then an MFA at New York’s Pratt Institute. Each place and experience has informed my creative process. My painting reflects a line-based language, defined by layers and color combinations. Through the lines, I make on canvas, I feel more poised and more myself; my painting helps to find myself, even more, every day. My work has been shown in cities like New York, Chicago, Miami, and Seoul.
