Kim Young-Hun: Diamond Mountain – Electronic Nostalgia
Soluna Fine Art is pleased to present Kim Young-Hun’s solo exhibition ‘Diamond Mountain – Electronic Nostalgia’ for the first time with the gallery. This exhibition showcases eight vibrantly coloured oil paintings by the artist that are inspired by the Korean landscape and digital screen glitches. Living through the transition between the analog generation and digital generation, Kim Young-Hun is passionate in observing and deciphering the unknown between the 1 and 0 of binary codes.
For Kim, such incomprehensibility intrigues him to create disoriented and euphoric paintings: Inspirations such as stripe covered light bulbs, white noise from digital screens, and invisible vibrations from string instruments allow Kim’s works, in his wordings, to “...generate an electronic-like abstract painting language that interferes with some parts of the ambiguous boundaries of our ever-changing digital or reality lives”.
