JK Art Project - Art in the Work place at Oral Design New York Featuring Yongjae Kim

As part of my ongoing effort to support Korean artists here in American I love to showcase unique works right at the Jason J Kim Oral Design New York Lab. And currently have installed works by the incredibly talented Yongjae Kim.

His works including Late Afternoon and Drift 2013 have been placed all over the lab and they are both beautiful and haunting. An interesting look at the urban world around us here in NYC and beyond.

Yongjae Kim(b.1985) is Brooklyn based artist, originally from Seoul, South Korea.

He received Best Color Work Award at 2014 KSCS International Invitation Exhibition of Color Works in Korea.

Artist's Note

My art is borne after several different procedures.

I make wood frames before anything, then cover them with a collage of newspapers.

The frames then become my canvas. The frames are then painted over, and

finalized by combining with ceramic pieces.

Wood, clay, metal and paper, materials I usually use, are eco-friendly media we

have played with in our childhood. I return to a youthful consciousness and play

with wood, clay and paper in a small studio in a large city.

Frames are made to look like images of nature. On them I collage newspapers from

many countries that tell us events from the real world; during which I

sometimes reveal the dark sides of life, expose politicians who are shrouded in lies

reVERBerations: Kyung Han Kim & Boonsun Lee, a two-person exhibit at the BBCN Bank

Another important cultural event sponsored by Jason J Kim oral Design NY!

I hope you can join us for the opening reception of the 2 person exhibit reVERBerations: Kyung Han Kim & Boonsun Lee, this Wednesday, June 10, 5:00-7:00 pm at the BBCN Bank, 16 West 32nd Street, New York, NY 10001

The exhibit itself will run from June 10 – October 5, 2015

We are working again with the AHL Foundation to bring this exhibition. Read below for more on what you can expect!

"Like a verb that conveys an action or an occurrence or a state of being, both Kyung Han Kim and Boonsun Lee examine and record the daily life occurrences around them.

Kyung Han Kim

Kim explores miscommunication, preconceptions and prejudices that are formed and reformed through the media and translates these experiences into hand-sewn drawings on canvases.

Boonsun Lee

Lee, a fiber artist, investigates paradoxical ideas of birth and extinction, form and emptiness, the inside and the outside through abstract imagery. The two artists explore quite different but interconnected ideas that result in quiet meditative works that are sophisticated subtle undulations of color and texture that harmoniously echo one another.

This exhibition is presented as part of AHL Foundation’s Art in the Workplace Program which exhibits contemporary artwork within the work and business environment. BBCN Bank and AHL Foundation’s initiative to provide cultural enrichment to the local business community has received much applause from employees, customers, the local community, and art enthusiasts. The program aims to create greater exposure for talented artists while fostering easier access and support for the arts among Korean-American business leaders.

AHL Foundation’s Art in the Workplace program is presented in collaboration with BBCN Bank and supported in part by Jason J. Kim Oral Design and through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council."
