JINCHUL KIM 김진철(USA):

As we all co-exist with the unpredictable complexities in our lives, art allows me to encapsulate my life experiences with the world I perceive. I endeavor to create paintings that are not mimetic, but rather an amalgamation of what I see in the lives around me and how my own peculiar circumstances have distorted these discernments. This hybrid—as I call it—of what exists and how I see existence has been the focal point of my sensibility. I am constantly in a struggle between these two erratic truths, and perhaps it is my physical predicament that has made this more powerful  for  me.

Consequently, the muse for my work is the momentary images from daily accidents that I capture into my mind. I use fine marks, directing my brush to dissect the substance of the subject matter. These marks may be conceptual, but to me it is my narrative calligraphy.
