Kusama's obsessive repetition of circular dot forms across canvas surfaces mirrors Kim's meditative approach to repeating spherical shapes, both artists using geometric iteration as a psychological and spiritual practice.

Hirst's iconic spot paintings share a direct visual kinship with Kim's repeated circular forms on canvas, both works exploring rhythm, seriality, and the hypnotic effect of geometric repetition in oil-based media.

As a fellow Korean contemporary artist, Lee Ufan similarly employs restrained repetitive mark making and meditative geometric gestures on canvas, sharing Kim's philosophical approach to minimalism and the contemplative act of painting.
