STUDIO1993 is an ever-evolving art project balancing between art and design shaped by the vision of Rosie K Kim


ROSIE KAHYUNG KIM

Rosie Kim is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She holds a BA (Hons) in Silversmithing and Jewellery Design from The Glasgow School of Art (2018) and recently completed her MFA in Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts (2023). With her work showcased in galleries across New York and Europe, Rosie draws inspiration from poetry, mythology, and the rich cultural traditions of ancient Greece and Rome.

Influenced by these diverse sources, She explores themes of intimacy, human connections, and the interplay between emotion and nature. Through semi-abstract forms and subtle, low-saturated textures, she symbolizes the ever-changing nature of desire and the challenge of defining our deepest longings.

Her process involves examining human desires and questioning the authenticity of existence by contrasting opposites. She employs techniques such as dissolving and overlapping elements to represent the fluidity of existence, while cracks and fuzziness hint at moments of transition and exploration, revealing the complexities of human emotion.

With evocative imagery and a focus on the inner journey of desire, her work prompts introspection and invites audiences to reflect on the mysteries that lie beyond. By challenging traditional interpretations, her series offers new perspectives on the universal themes that shape our lives, prompting deeper reflection on the complexities of human experience.
