First comprehensive monograph on artist Minjung Kim to be published
Minjung Kim, originally from Gwangju, South Korea, began her artistic journey with traditional Korean painting before moving to Milan, Italy, where she crafted a unique visual style that fuses Eastern aesthetics with Western abstraction. Currently dividing her time between France and the United States, she has showcased her art globally for more than thirty years. Her abstract pieces are characterized by the meticulous use of traditional Korean calligraphy ink and hand-dyed hanji (mulberry paper). The upcoming monograph "Minjung Kim: Ink, Paper, Fire" will serve as the first extensive examination of her oeuvre, establishing itself as the definitive resource on her artistic approach. Kim's work is often presented in series.
