Dynamic forms are shaped by the artist’s fingers, inspired by the vast landscape and natural environment she witnessed in the United States. Kim also experimented with the terra cotta technique from Mexico that reveals visible traces of the earthly color. Myungjin Kim’s work is the outcome of a combined material and technical invention from different regions, especially with her conceptual base rooted in the tradition of Korean culture. Her works involve shamanistic concepts that channel mystical powers of prosperity, longevity, and happiness in life. Owl as the symbol of wisdom, wealth, and luck with ancient Cycadophyta as the motif of tenacious vitality are frequent subject matter invoked in her series of works. This shows that Kim traces the symbols of Hwajodo(Bird-and-flower painting, 花鳥圖) from the 19th-century Korean folk art Minhwa to create her unique ‘contemporary Talisman.’ In the works shown at the exhibition, Kim revisits these diverse techniques and cultures that present the harmony between East and West with the promise of peace and wellness of people.
