TAGUCHI FINE ART
EXHIBITION
KIM TAEK SANG: PURITY
Taguchi Fine Art is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Kim Taek Sang, a key figure in the second generation of Korean Dansaekhwa painters. Kim creates his works slowly, soaking unstretched canvases in a mix of acrylic paint and water, then waiting for them to dry. What results are paintings in soft and gentle colors with a quality of ripeness gained over time.
The works on view will show how Kim has expanded his practice since his previous solo exhibition at the gallery in 2018. He now uses irregularly shaped fabrics as an underlay when soaking his canvases, and his palette now includes fluorescent colors evocative of the Northern Lights as well as natural dyes derived from beetles.

Taguchi Fine Art was founded in 2001 with the belief that art should address the existential problems of humankind. The gallery promotes Japanese and international artists who share this philosophy by hosting exhibitions in its Tokyo space, staging pop-up shows, and participating in such art fairs as Art Cologne, Art Karlsruhe, Kiaf Seoul, LA Art Show, Art Fair Tokyo, and Art Osaka. Represented artists include Frank Gerritz, Yasutake Iwana, Kim Taek Sang, Christiane Löhr, Yoshinobu Nakagawa, Shigeru Nishikawa, Morio Nishimura, Regine Schumann, Michael Toenges, and Aki Tsukamoto.
