Korea
Minchan Kim was born In Inje( Gangwon-do, South Korea) in 1965 and graduated from Hansung University in 1990. He was committed to enlivening two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional ones.
'I used to draw on a flat surface, Someday.
I wanted to bring out the three-dimensional feelings to flat surface.
I imagined a mass of paint on a flat surface, Imagination grew more and more.
I wanted to make my imagination reality.
I spent a lot of time alone.
A lot of time passed by trial and error. At first, a spatial change was made by overlapping
monotonous colors. However, the emptiness of color remained. I thought about the
harmony between space and color. How can I implement vividly living lines to threedimensionally?
Every brush has its own characteristics and internal reasons. Breathing
stops at the moment brush is drawn. At the same time everyone is disappeared. During
the time there is no past, no future, only the moment exists, What I obtain is reborn as a
painting language finally.'
