Corea Artist_Su Hyun Kim

I am selected the Hopper prize finalists.  So grateful. 🙏 I hope it give luck to my international art experience. 2018 Hopper Prize _ Suhyun Kim

I applied my artwork "Blue bird"in Hopper Prize.  They follow mine in instagram. Please check the heart in @hopperprize.  The artwork features fighting politicians, their faces comically contorted.  Are their exaggerated expressions real? Or are they merely playing, posing for the cameras, for us? Painting within a discourse of social analysis, a process of clipping media images, and classifying her subjects, Suhyun Kim challenges our sense of emotional honesty. Her images debate accountability and guilt, forcing us to question our complicity. Like photographs as witness to personal stories, her paintings depict individuals as  universal archetypes, simultaneously complex and simple, like each of us .
