Minjung Kim. Red Mountain

It was 1997 when Minjung Kim, Korean-born artist – trained between Seoul and Milan – carried out her first cycle of “Mountains”. The symbolic subject of the mountain, place of spiritual elevation both in the Eastern and Western culture, is the leitmotiv of Minjung’s solo exhibition at Raffaelli art studio of Trento. On display: two unprecedented “Mountains”, two recent works of the “Red Mountains” series, and three panels from the installation “Mountain”, which was exhibited in 2012 at the MACRO in Rome.
Her other works of art on display also feature this contamination of elements coming from the East as well as from the West: in the series “Void in fullness”, Minjung subjects her work to complex combustion and stratification processes, in which the colour, absolute protagonist, conveys a sense of three-dimensionality.

You can perceive the passing of time also in her works “Predestination”, “Story” and “Mutation”; in the works “The Street” and “Interchange”, time and space mould together.

“Red Mountain” will open on 11 November 2014 and can be visited until 1 March 2015.
