The mystery of being and hidden meanings in nature have always been the artist’s main interests. Often, in order to represent a meaning that cannot be revealed directly and that fundamentally rejects any definitions or formulations, Kim has relied on a symbolic method that intentionally avoids direct designations. However, abstract concepts the artist has been exploring, such as Divine Providence and the essence of human existence, are now being transformed into surprisingly realistic issues by 《Rainbow Art Project》.
