簡介

Kim Joon是現時韓國最引人注目的年輕當代藝術家之一。他創作的數碼投映圖像以瓷器及紋身作為媒介,探討慾望、記憶及青少年等議題。他運用餐具、理想化的祼體身驅,及西方流行文化圖像如結他、汽車及槍械等融合成完整的創作。Kim是三維計算機圖形電腦軟件3D Studio Max的專家,成功地以先進的技術將亞洲的傳統圖案與嶄新的媒體結合為一。

Kim Joon的作品曾被展出於英國倫敦薩奇畫廊(其創作被刊登於展覽會場刊Korean Eye: Contemporary Korean Art的封面上)、韓國首爾總體美術館、韓國首爾鍾路區現代藝術博物館,及台灣國立博物館。

Kim Joon所創作的紋身圖像被刊登於2012年12月出版的ARTnews雜誌封面上。

Kim Joon at Sundaram Tagore Gallery August 2015

泰戈爾後人 「藝術是歷史解碼器」 October 2013

「當我們大為謙卑的時候,便是我們最接近偉大的時候。(We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility)」這是曾獲諾貝爾文學獎的印度大文豪泰戈爾(Rabindranath Tagore)讓人耳熟能詳的名句。他周遊列國,與徐悲鴻、譚雲山為友,對促進東西文化最落力,描寫也最為細膩,甚至影響中國一代詩風。個半世紀後,泰戈爾對文化融通的深層視野仍然像基因遺傳在第五代子孫 Sundaram Tagore 的血液裏。「當我曾曾祖父拿到諾貝爾文學獎後,把獎金都捐到大學去,他深信人道主義(humanity)而非民族主義(nationalism)會令世界變好。我也深受影響,藝術不是商品也不只講求美輪美奐,最重要是有沒有達到歷史解碼的功能。」Sundaram Tagore這印度大文豪之後如是說。他更侃侃而談「文化衝擊」作為自己收藏和經營事業的單一準則與品味。

The Kim Joon Intrusion July 2010

"Art to humanity, like hope to life, is the purpose of being, the main cog of an apparatus; convincing eyes and souls that dreams exist to be shaped, desires to be fulfilled, taboos to be wrecked. In between political and commercial propaganda, some artists find their place amidst a realm of the non sequitur. Kim Joon is an artist of this kind. Ren Wan loses grip of herself amidst Kim Joon’s beguiling imagery. "
