KIM Whanki(Pen name: Su-Wha, 樹話) led us to the universe of inspiration and meditation through his art world. He is considered to create a “formative poetry” that pursues Korean sentiment and nature. With such sophisticated composition that people around the world could share with, he modernizes the traditional beauty that reaches us today.
The artist pioneered the way to abstract art since the 1930s, and beautifully shaped the Korean sentiment with dense and rich expression for nature like mountains, the moon, and many others. During the Paris and Seoul Period, his art gradually embodied Korea’s unique world of lyricism in strict and restrained formality.
