Be silent and speculate in her paintings – Kim Jong Sook
Kim Jung Sook’s work tempts her to fall into her artistic soul while interacting closely with the
irregularities created like a relief, the intense primary color of a smooth flat, and communicating closely with them. Implicitly, this impressive message of Kim Jong Sook exists by communicating with a person who sees it and suggests that it has real value as an art piece. In addition, Kim Jong Sook confirmed that all arts eventually expand and grow as a final meaningful work by a viewer who appreciates the work. The best transformation in contemporary art in the 20th century was the progress into abstract art that escaped from visual art. It is abstract art, and Kim Jong Sook’s actual artistic language shows that art can abandon the visible objects‘ shape and form and that the only formative elements of point, line, face, and color can be sufficiently good. All the formative elements and tools she uses on the surface of the work perfectly reflect the characteristics of all these abstract arts. As early as painting, „the bridge between the soul of a painter and the souls of the people watching it“ (Delacroix), the artist eventually bridges the viewer’s abstract and relies on their gaze.
