Artist Biography

b.1990
Minku Kim was born in Seoul in 1990 and emigrated to the US at a young age, earning a BFA in Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore (2012) and an MFA in Sculpture at the New York Studio School (2017). Taking on the influences of both Korean and American abstract greats like Lee Ufan and Ellsworth Kelly, his austere straight edge paintings combine spare surfaces and small, precisely applied geometric shapes in elegant juxtapositions of colour and line. Another notable series Sarang (the Korean word for ‘love’) features hearts depicted on surreally figurative loose edge paintings.

Kim has held solo shows at both Berrgruen Gallery, San Francisco (US, 2020) and Helen J Gallery (US, 2020). His work has also featured in group shows, most recently at Berrgruen (2024) and also at The Shophouse, Hong Kong (HK, 2022). It also appears in private collections in North America, the UK, France, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, among many others. He lives and works in Brooklyn.
