두근두근 1

Artist's curation

In 두근두근, the artist embroiders the onomatopoeia of heart beating over and over again. Punching through fabric, stabbing with needle, she pushes and pulls the thread to create the shape of a monitor to cardiac rhythm. On the underside of the embroidery shows the way in which the heart beats. Could be anxiety or excitement, but the heart keeps beating as long as you’re alive.

Artist Story:

Suzy Kim is a Korean artist born in Seoul, currently based in Hong Kong. She explores the “journey of creation” that arises from repetitive actions. Her unique technique, which involves creating forms with adhesive and filling them with paint, is inspired by Korean sentiment and the philosophy of Dansaekhwa (단색화: Korean Monochrome Painting), visualizing the boundary where the artist’s inner world meets the external world. Having majored in Studio Art and English at Boston College, she gained recognition for her artistic merit by receiving the 2021 Allison R. McComber Junior Award. She continues to actively present her unique perspective through numerous group exhibition in the United States. Currently, she is expanding her identity as a Korean artist while establishing herself as a promising creator based in Hong Kong.
