D.S. Kim
Mountain Stream
48 x 36
Oil
D.S. Kim, a painter born in 1961 in South Korea has
steadily increased his talent and reputation after receiving his degree from
Dong A. University of Art. Alternating
between the traditional landscape paintings, Venetian street scenes and coastal
seascapes, Kim has found a viable niche in his craft. Mountain Stream encompasses a new
vitality with his successful attempt to illustrate the rushing water of a
mountain spring; as it roars over ‘choppy’ rapids. Violent marks of white anchor the composition
to the acute eye level stance. Nature is
addressed in a cool color palette, accented with truths of warm hue tinges. Slightly
upward, the perspective exemplifies the angular viewing as Kim places the
viewer downstream, in the middle of the river- looking upstream; locked in the
rushing mountainous irrigate. Yellow ochres, orpiment, and golden radiance make
the leaves, brush, and vegetation glow with a ‘qenyt’ and ‘nebw’ aurora of autumn
brusque.
Balanced on the right and left, with an ominous waterfall in
the central configuration, Kim has delivered on an Impressionistic painting
that is both expressive in genre as well as sensibility. Kim has epitomized the sometimes irregular
changes of nature as temperatures drop, leaves fall, and life continues on-
sight unseen.
