Work
Tschoon Su Kim's work is in the tradition of abstraction, the use of the color blue. For over twenty years, Kim paints painting almost exclusively in this color. In his series of works that call themselves Ultramarine, Blanco y Azul or white and blue, he explores the effect of the color blue and creates associations of water, sky and tree landscapes without showing this in practice.
" The exclusive use of blue is the color of a new meaning that goes beyond and transcends what was ever done it in the past. [ ... ] And that, in turn, means that the paintings of Tschoon Su Kim not only deal with the form of distributed, but itself also from the painting you appear as if an innovation from tradition, which makes them important and their influence on contemporary painting backs.
