Castle Breakers
2020
"Castle Breakers" by Hun Kyu Kim is a striking 2020 work rendered in pigment on silk, a medium that lends the piece both luminous delicacy and a rich sense of tradition. The interplay between the flowing, translucent quality of the silk and the bold application of pigment creates a dynamic tension, evoking themes of force, disruption, and transformation. Kim's choice of this classical material to explore the act of breaking and dismantling suggests a dialogue between heritage and upheaval.
