KIM YOUNGJOO

What remains of painting when the premise of representation no longer holds? My work begins from this question. I approach painting as a system capable of reconﬁguring its own conditions, an open ﬁeld where material, structure, and perception continuously interact.

The canvas is not a neutral support but an active framework. By dismantling and reconstructing wooden stretchers, I allow structure to generate its own rhythm. Along fragmented lines, the canvas acquires direction and movement, while pigment becomes a record of shifting balance rather than depiction. Painting unfolds into spatial form charged with latent motion and instability.

Rather than producing ﬁxed images, I explore the threshold where painting exists as process, as something that is always forming and reforming. My concern lies not in representation but in the emergence of visual experience itself.

In an environment saturated with instantaneous images, painting oﬀers a diﬀerent temporality, a site where attention regains its depth and vision reclaims its duration.
