Kim Young Mi

Dec 11, 2022

Kim Young Mi’s solo exhibition, "Dances of Resistance," continues to evolve with a special feature at the "Show Me Your Heart" Gala this December 2022. This annual event, organized by the nonprofit organization of the same name, serves as a poignant platform for blending art with philanthropy, and Kim Young Mi's participation highlights her ongoing exploration of human vulnerability and societal introspection.

Kim Young Mi’s work is renowned for its intricate deconstruction of the human form and anthropomorphized animals, creating a dialogue that bridges fragmented existence with deeper reflections on societal disillusionment. Her art, celebrated across South Korea, the UK, Europe, China, and the United States, delves into the complexities of human experience, using both distortion and empathy to engage viewers in a profound conversation about the human condition.

At the "Show Me Your Heart" Gala, Kim will contribute a live drawing performance, offering a unique and intimate glimpse into her creative process. This live artwork will feature a family of owls, rendered with the same emotional depth and complexity that characterize her broader oeuvre. Through the depiction of these avian figures, Kim seeks to capture the warmth and mutual support inherent in familial relationships—a poignant counterpoint to the existential themes explored in her broader body of work.

The live drawing will not only provide a dynamic addition to the gala but also serve as a visual representation of the event’s spirit, celebrating connection and solidarity during the festive season. Kim’s artwork will be part of a live auction, offering attendees a chance to acquire a piece that symbolizes the warmth and interdependence of family bonds, while also supporting the noble cause championed by the "Show Me Your Heart" organization.

This event will underscore Kim Young Mi’s commitment to merging artistic exploration with social impact. As her work continues to challenge and inspire, this event exemplifies how art can serve as a powerful medium for fostering community, empathy, and reflection. The gala will provide a meaningful context for Kim’s latest creation, celebrating both the transformative power of art and the enduring importance of human connection.

This December, join us in experiencing Kim Young Mi’s compelling live drawing and support the "Show Me Your Heart" Gala, where art meets philanthropy in a celebration of shared humanity and the spirit of giving.
