귀신도
쓸쓸하여 살지 않는 한모통이,
도체비꽃이 낮에도 혼자 무서워 파랗게 질린다

On this spur, so desolate that even ghosts refuse to live here,
hydrangea flowers stand alone in broad daylight, pale with dread

젖은 향기 불긋한 잎 위의 길
실그물의 바람 비쳐 젖은 숲
나는 걸어가노라 이러한 길
바람조차 가을 봄 거츠는 꿈
“꿈길” 김소월
Scent drenched, red leaves above it,
the road Cold chilling wind reflecting drenched wet grove
For me, what is to be walked, the road
Fall and spring, wild and rough as the winds dream
“Dream Path” Sowol Kim

Genesis explores the dual role of the artist as both creator and observer, highlighting how the artistic process itself becomes a reflective journey that shapes and informs the final work.
Kim's paintings explore metamorphic landscapes through emotional interpretations of perennials and nature, blending personal and folkloric narratives with abstraction using oil paint and oil pastels. The process of translating immaterial emotions into tangible forms on canvas is central to Kim's artistic practice, navigating a delicate balance between realism and abstraction. His work captures moments where realistic depictions intersect with radical textures, creating an atmosphere of ambiguity that invites viewers to reinterpret natural laws and engage deeply with sentimentality and spirituality. Kim's paintings thus become immersive landscapes where time and space converge, encouraging viewers to explore and reimagine the narratives woven within each textured composition.
His contribution to the exhibition enriches the exploration of metamorphic landscapes by illustrating the transformative power of artistic vision on perceptions of reality. Through layered textures and nuanced compositions, Kim's artworks evoke profound emotional and spiritual responses, offering viewers a space to contemplate the interconnectedness of nature and personal introspection.
