Kim, born in Suffolk 1971, and graduated from Leeds university in Fine Art with Dance in the early nineties, where since she has studied for a Masters in Gender Studies (interdisciplinary - arts, psychoanalysis, linguistics, history and culture) in 2002. First exposure has been successful at London's Olympia Exhibition , November 2002 where her work has since been included in a few small private collections. To date Kim has had local exhibitions that have been a 'rare' occurance in restaurant/bar areas in Berkshire. International commissions in Canada, Ibiza and Spain. More recently we have Kim as a finalist of Londonart 'Art of Love' 2005 Exhibition held throughout the whole February at the oxo tower, by westminster, thameside. Articles in Newbury News, Reading Evening Post and Chronicle all have reviewed and recognised this success. w/e 19-03-05 Meridian West Television have filmed Kim painting at her studio, in Sulhamstead Abbots and are airing her at work along side viewing various pieces and talking with her in an interview. KIM I produce from my studio - an ever evolving body of work where my passion so far has been mostly in the figurative genre. Also simply the freedom of movement: a diverse physical and psychic entity in constant communication with itself - evokes emotion, tastes, truths, pleasures, and damage. I capture one moment; a glimpse of a moment transcribed visually, connecting with what it might mean - loaded - to live a life. The body is a recurring theme which also means it can be traced back and depicted through ancient symbolisms... for me, an experiment that can also investigate gender - as part of a possibility to change - a precursive movement to into understanding body habitation. To be able to decode metaphor, let consciousness open up , wider, in all physical, pathological, psychological senses... where reality strikes paradox. There something primal echoes, where we are all the same. We have different experiences, and chemical reactions. For me the question arises - 'what constitutes naturalness?' I paint for my own record, to what makes my heart sing, to what feeds my soul. In my own choreography. In this space I learn my own time, love and understand people I meet along my way. Actually I paint because I don't want to stop... |
