KIM Tae-Ho was born in 1948 in Busan, Korea. He has been at the forefront of Korean monochrome art since the 1970s and is highly celebrated for having expanded the possibilities of the art form. KIM’s paintings retain the unique characteristics of their vivid palette; they are a product of the artist’s meticulous working method to accrue a dense sediment of color within the picture plane itself. Moving into the 1990s, the artist shifted his focus to spatial structure through his Internal Rhythm series. The series is characterized by a meticulous, labor-intensive process where the artist creates a grid made up of interwoven lines by layering over 20 heavy brushstrokes onto a canvas according to his own set rhythm. He deconstructs the mass of paint that has built up to reveal the colors beneath each layer with each cell within the grid possessing its own unique properties. His paintings can be viewed up close and from afar, revealing something different depending on the perspective.
