Sung Kook Kim’s second solo exhibition “Hiatus” at Gallery LVS is featured by Artsy.

In hyperrealist paintings, Sung Kook Kim examines everyday life while exposing details and gestures to greater scrutiny. For his second solo exhibition at Seoul’s Gallery LVS, “Hiatus,” he presented 24 paintings that call attention to the effect of framing, repetition, and fracture. The resulting imagery varies from surreal genre scenes to cityscapes, to allegorical figuration similar to Robert Longo’s “Men in the Cities” series.
