Silent images
Kim divided a canvas as pixel unit and drew one image in each pixel unit. Those small pixel images also become bases to make one big image. For instance Kim draws Marilyn Monroe’s face in each small pixel unit to show one big image like Van Gogh. When viewers watch Kim’s painting for the first time they can see one large portrait image such as Van Gogh however, upon closer look they can recognize there are hundreds and thousands of small Marilyn Monroe images in the canvas. His artwork makes viewers respond with his pixel painting.
While cutting edge contemporary art, using various new media leads to the mainstream of the contemporary art world Kim’s elaborated oil paintings give us a fresh look.
Kim Dong-Yoo lives and works in Seoul, Korea.
