Cheol Yu Kim

by Josh Rubin

Cheol Yu Kim (above) is a Korean artist who's work is currently being shown at the CUE Art Foundation. His drawings and watercolors combine incredible skill with abstracted imagery of flying and swimming things. The work is hieroglyphic in style and suggests the elaborate stories of a child's imagination. Aside from the new Richard Serra Torqued Ellipses (below) at the Gagosian, this was the best art I saw all weekend. The Serra pieces were mind blowing, as usual. This series just keeps getting better with each iteration.
