The natural world emerged as the defining theme and subject for Kim Bohie in the 1990s, having previously also worked across the genres of still life and portraiture. In the early 2000s, Kim set up her studio on the island of Jeju, which lies south of the Korean Peninsula, and its landscape became her main preoccupation – the ocean, the local floral, her own garden. Notably, there are never people in her quiet, elegant paintings. Her panoramic views and plant studies, depict moments of solitary contemplation. Each one shows a vivid encounter with nature; the golden disk of the moon at twilight framed by a beacon mound near Sanbangsan Mountain, sea water catching the sun in the heat of the day, the striking leaves of Washingtonia palms. The exhibition title situates these scenes – their emphasis on what lies beyond our individual bodies and consciousness and offers a consideration of the unity and order of the natural world.
