			Gallery Baton is pleased to announce 《Towards》, a solo exhibition of Kim Bohie(b. 1952) from 30th May to 1st July 2023 in Hannam-dong, Seoul. While her previous solo exhibitions at Kumho Museum of Art(2020) and Jeju Museum of Contemporary Art(2022), which attracted considerable attention from the public and critics, included the signature practice revealing her core philosophy, the exhibition at Gallery Baton consists of new paintings whose subjects are intimate and peaceful landscapes where Kim’s warm gaze stays upon, including the nature surrounding the artist’s studio in Seogwipo and her dog, Leo. 

 

Kim Bohie, a prominent figurative painter, has constantly sought to bring contemporary sensitivity to Korean painting with her exquisite visual languages developed through extensive research and analysis of the traditional styles of Korean and Western paintings. Kim delicately conveys innocent and natural aesthetics closely observed in daily life, such as plants, gardens, seascapes, and surrounding sceneries in color ink. Embracing the conservative composition and perspective of Western painting, she attempts to achieve an organic combination of each element in her work by accepting Eastern approaches that emphasize liveliness and harmony.
