Photograph: Sam Roberts. Born in South Korea, Jonathan Kim is now based in Adelaide, South Australia. His multidisciplinary practice places deep importance on the relationship between a medium and its environmental factors, a concept named ‘Gong-Gan-Seong (Spatiality)’, inspired by Lee Ufan’s philosophy of ‘Man-Nam (Encounter)’. Kim’s work ‘Calico & Gesso on Canvas Series’ (2020) is included in S P A C E S, an exhibition that explores the way we navigate through and experience our surroundings. In this interview with curator Steph Cibich, Kim discusses the artwork and the driving force behind his practice.

Seeking something new that fulfilled his creative desire that had, until now, been denied by societal pressure, Jonathan began creating art. In 2018, he graduated from UniSA with a Bachelor of Contemporary Art with honours in art and design. Jonathan also spent time studying and practising art at the British School in Rome, Italy. Currently undertaking a residency at ACE Open, Jonathan’s works revolve largely around Post-Minimalism, and he excitingly blends his Western involvement of art and study with his South Korean cultural upbringing and experience. Verse’s arts contributor, Christina Massolino, sat down with Jonathan to discuss his life experiences, minimalist theories and approach to art. ... ... https://versemag.com.au/magazine/imagine-jonathan-kim/"...Congratulations to our 2020 Studio Program artists!

Like his nomadic background, Jonathan’s artwork contains various cultural elements. Jonathan’s practice takes the form of painting, sculpture, and installation based on the Japanese sculptural concept of Mono-ha and the Korean painting style Dansaekhwa that rooted in Korean artist Lee Ufan’s philosophy. However, Jonathan is currently attempt to extend his practice by adopting other post-minimal ideas such as Arte Povera." www.westgallerythebarton.com.au/jonathan-kim-1"Jonathan’s sculptural practice investigates and identifies the internal value of materials from their external state. The physical structures created using materials found in everyday life are intended for a spatial experience, via the interaction between a material and its environment by an intervention and transformation. Jonathan’s practice in Rome explored the memory and the history of found object or readymade. In the same context, Jonathan’s paintings explore the spatial concepts formed by the interaction between media. His crayon painting series emphasise the tactility and texture of media and the ethnic sentiments created using traditional Korean design and colour theory according to the idea of Dansaekhwa." guildhouse.org.au/office-space-jonathan-kim/Former business student Jonathan Kim made the switch from business to art just five years ago and he hasn’t looked back since. Kim is currently undertaking the Helpmann Academy’s British School at Rome Residency, which he was awarded earlier this year at the Helpmann graduate exhibition along with the Linden New Art Award.

Come il suo background nomade, le sue opere d’arte contengono vari elementi culturali, dal concetto scultoreo del movimento giapponese Mono-ha e lo stile di pittura coreana Dansaekhwa fino alle idee post-minimal. Per Spazi Aperti esporrà un lavoro dedicato agli impatti ambientali: “le mie opere consisteranno in dipinti (disegni) e sculture. Sceglierò uno spazio interno indipendente nell’edificio dell’Accademia. Installerò alcune delle mie sculture sul pavimento. L’esposizione farà parte di un progetto a lungo termine che mira a ripristinare l’equilibrio sensoriale delle persone fornendo un’esperienza spaziale a chi oggi è costretto a sperimentare un’esperienza visiva eccessiva”.www.piuculture.it/2019/05/spazi-aperti-arte-integrazione/Jonathan Kim, from The Density series: Stone & Elastomeric I, 2018, elastomeric pipe insulation, copper pipe and found stone.
