The artist, Kim Hyun Soo

My work begins by capturing my memory to place it on the canvas. Green in my unconsciousness becomes leaves and fields.
It is the representation of deep verdant greens I absorbed in my youth in Jeju-do. The unpolished and instinctive lines and shapes are not a simple reproduction of the landscape in Jeju; rather, it expresses the perception thrown out in nature. My greens are the stains of my inner minds, what has left after one filtration and another.

Exceptionally pointy trees, dark soil, black stones, and meandering roads seem like a village I played around or the lonely field or the gloomy landscape I encountered on an exhausting day. The actual scenes or the existences of or the actual anecdotes of the circles, triangles, and shapes are not important. It is the scene itself left in my perception; my memory being reshaped and reformed.
