Young Shik Kim is a Korean folk-art painter who combines historic technique and materials with contemporary forms and non-traditional colors. Her style of simple objects rendered in a soft palette was developed over twenty years of practicing traditional Minhwa painting. Ms. Kim has participated in many group exhibitions in South Korea, China, Mongolia, Switzerland, and the United States. Her work recently appeared at the Induk University Gallery and the Ara Art Center in Seoul, and she and her daughter presented a two-person show in both Konjiam and Seoul.
Young Shik Kim lives and works in South Korea. She is a member of the Korea Fine Arts Association and the Korea Folk Arts (Minwha) Association. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Ashland University.
