"Leeum's survey links Kim's Seoul, Paris, and New York periods as a single investigation into the dunton and the dot."
Leeum assembles paintings and works on paper from Kim Whanki's Seoul, Paris, and New York years to argue for a continuous inquiry into the particle as the foundation of abstraction. Rare canvases from the 1950s, where calligraphic marks dissolve into fields, appear beside the late all-over dot paintings that defined his last decade in New York. Archival correspondence with Renaia-Sohn and Park Seo-bo clarifies the artist's place in Korean modernism.
