Poetical body forms and patterns by Kim Joon

Kim Joon: Fragile

Some elements are recurrent in the latest works of Korean contemporary artist Kim Joon: The presence of the human body figure as fragments of porcelain, often disembodied and coated in patterns that allude to tattoos.

The result is a beautiful scene that dialogues with the subject of tattooing as a form of representing both physical and conscious impressions, while his works also reflect other elements, influenced by western cultural presence in Korea, and the perception of tattoos by the Korean society.

Kim Joon: Somebody

Image critic Kim Young-Ok translated our feelings for Joon’s art: “Kim’s images are extraordinary exquisite and captivating, pleasing to the eye in their color and design. But as the artist’s touch grows deeper, the images grow more melancholy.”
