Su hyun Kim explores history as a lens to examine global questions of power, identity, and longing. Her work begins with specific symbols—traditional garments, divided lands, theatrical politicians—but expands into universal emotions: reunion, tension, and the fragile hope of coexistence.

Rooted in Korean symbols—ritual dress, divided lands, and the spectacle of politics—Her work reaches beyond national borders. While based in Korea's past, it reflects universal tensions: longing, performance, and fragile hope.

By weaving together fragments of a complex history, she construct new visual myths that speak not only to cultural memory but also to the shared experiences that transcend geography.



Her paintings have been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions throughout Korea since 2009. She was an International Fellowship resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center, USA in 2010. She currently resides and works in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
