LYRIC BRUSH

Paintings and Drawings by Wonsook Kim

Selected and introduced by Wolhee Choe

New York: Hawks Publishing, 2004

In Wonsook Kim's paintings, the ironic

 reconfiguring of an incident is hardly tragic, not even satiric. 

To say that drama is at the heart of  Wonsook's work

is to recognize the duality of her conceptual and

painterly perspectives, the dramatic (ritualistic)

and dream-like power of her images, and the visual

idiom that conceptually decontructs the conventional. 

Thus her images are as continuous as human language

and as universal as myths.
