Fantastic dreams of forests and jungles
They reveal my poetic dreams as part of a space for relaxation and rest, existing in tranquility and silence. So a clear, dim lyricism flowers as childhood memories are vividly remembered. That is why the world of fantasies coexists with delightful wit and exciting childlike innocence inspired by cartoons I saw as a child.

A new encounter with a game filling everyday ------
The discovery of my inner self and narrative are made in a process of depicting daily life.My secret becomes clear through experience nobody else has had. An act of growing emotional images is a process of returning to the memory a game required (hoped), brimming with the beautiful.
Kim Seun-Kang
Standing on the border between emptying and filling
Seoun-Gang Kim's recent works radiate the unique sensibility - as a woman artist as well as the profoundness and the endeavor which Kim dedicated her times and efforts along with. In her paintings, the multilayered monochrome background is so subtle and refined that it looks like a sea floating constantly, and the various sized images on the paintings are so well-harmonized that they look like swimming in the sea, "the sea of color." I believe that the "Su-Gan" coloring technic which she practiced has related to that factor. However, the spirit is more important than the technic for artists which Kim is well aware of, and the process is as valuable as the consequence. The Kim's multilayered background tells us how deep her deliberations and how have her hard-works are.

A Glasses of the Memory
-A Pair of Glasses with My Memory
My eyes remember what they saw and I believe a pair of glasses also does.
When I drew someone's portraits, I thought it would be nice if I drew not only their appearance but their memories that their glasses remember, so I could interpret their own stories in my way. Their portraits also have each different characteristic because everyone has different memories and stories.
A pair of glasses is the medium of someone's memory. My works gave them a chance to recollect their past again.
In those memories, we play the main character of a cartoon or the sad movie and talk about romance.
For me, the media that connect me to those memories was mostly a pair of shoes and glasses. As I become a grown-up, I reversely reflect my memories to those shoes and glasses.
This time, the reflected memories in those shoes and glasses start to talk about their stories instead of our mouths. Memories have a big meaning in people's lives.
We use the verb 'wear' with shoes and glasses. In my works, I made them to wear my memories.
