Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale 2026

Kim Grim expands the sensibility of ceramics by mixing pigments into clay to create colored clay, building it up line by line. Infusing her emotions and narratives of the moment into color, the artist builds layer upon layer to create layers of color. Instantaneous images translate into intuitive colors, and the complex, turbulent emotions experienced when facing the raw clay seep between the colors and layers. In this process, the distinct chromatic bands form unique patterns, creating a rhythm that resonates with the movement of her hands. Built up with diverse emotions and colors, the work culminates in a solid, rounded form holding a rich variety of stories within. The artist hopes that those who encounter the work will look inward and discover new sensibilities within themselves.
