Sun KIM

Sun KIM is a sculptor based in Busan, South Korea. His work primarily features anthropomorphized animals that serve as reflections of the artist himself.

​

In his recent series Holding a Painting, the sculpted figures hold iconic artworks by world-renowned artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Vincent van Gogh. Each sculpture is accompanied by symbolic elements—birds, trees, ducks, and flowers—that act as companions to the central figure, enriching the atmosphere and narrative.

​

In 2009, Kim debuted his Red Window series in his first solo exhibition in the United States. The "red window" functions like the magical wardrobe in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe—a gateway to a dreamlike, otherworldly realm, inviting viewers to step into a world of imagination and wonder.
