Kim Yong-Ik 金容翼
Plane Object 平面物件
1977
In his body of work, Kim Yong-Ik examines the interactions between inherent qualities of materials and artificial interventions. He began his career with the Plane Object series in the 1970s, and his most noted works deal with the materiality of the canvas and the supporting armature. In this work, three pieces of cloth are tacked together as a single canvas and displayed loosely on the wall. In addition to the creases of the draped canvas, Kim airbrushed the surface to give the illusion of shadows when the fabric wrinkles. Influenced by the Mono-ha (‘school of things’) movement in Japan, Plane Object indicates Kim’s interest in the painterly surface and materiality of things in a spatial context.
