loop Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition by loop member Sung Ja Kim entitled Transforming.
Sung Ja Kim’s exhibition of figurative drawings and mixed media abstracts presents visual conceptions of two fundamental aspects of the human condition. The first aspect is the gradual unfolding of new life, captured through the depiction of a set of typical childhood experiences. The second aspect is the alienation and spiritual hungers that are also part of human life, as depicted in the artist’s mixed media works, which convey longing for healthy, loving relationships.
Kim is a Toronto-based, Korean-Canadian artist whose works in both mixed media and drawing visually communicate a range of spiritual responses by individuals to the inevitability of suffering in our their lives. She is a long-time member of the loop Gallery and has had group and solo shows in galleries in both South Korea and Canada. She has also been retained for numerous portrait commissions. Kim is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design and she teaches art privately in her studio, as well as at a private school in Etobicoke. She is married and both her husband and her son inspire her work and often serve as her models.
