Artist Statement

Artist Kim Kimin is admired for implementing raw, natural materials to express mankind’s oneness with nature.

This Fair, we are proud to represent his ‘Wearing Nature’ series. The character wearing clothes seems to gaze into the viewers as they move. Through this new series one will be able to get a glimpse of the innocent yet a primitive instinct of adopting empathy as an expression.

藝術家金起民喜好使用最原始、自然的素材來表現人類與自然的合一。

本次展覽，我們很榮幸的展出他的《穿戴自然》系列作品。這些著裝的角色一邊移動時，看起來似乎凝視著觀者的眼睛。觀者可以透過這個新系列的表現手法，一窺這些純真且使用同理心作為表達的原始本能。
