KIM Hyung Dae

Began in 1980s and continuing until today, Halo is a series which goes back and forth painting and print and represents Kim’s art world. After mid-1980s in his Halo series, Kim started to expand the horizontal and vertical partitioning in his work throughout the entire surface of his abstract paintings, at the same time focusing on thick matière and layers of colors on the surface. Inspired by Korean traditional fabric and waves, Kim’s style continues on in the Halo series with longitude and latitude lines offering visual and tactile depth, and transforming into a space of transparent monotone light.
