In this exhibition, she plans to exhibit two pieces of the original 'Propose and Chocolate Bread' and 30 prints of 'Scent of Dawn'.

She sublimated the various thoughts that she saw and felt through her own perspective into her work in her own way.

Kim said, “I drew the fairy tale story I saw in my dreams and the moments of lonely and unfamiliar experiences I had in my childhood in my artwork. I reconstructed my childhood memories of purely imagining everything in an unfamiliar place. I wanted to express the virtual world by putting characters with various meanings into my artwork,”

After studying Western painting at Ulsan University, she is an experienced artist who has held 9 solo exhibitions.

Director Lee Kyung-wha, who is an exhibition planner, said, “From now on, Frieze, a global art fair, and Kiaf, the largest art fair in Korea, will be held together in Seoul every year for five years. Now, like other K-contents, it is time for K-art to get attention from the world. I will do my best to introduce many talented Korean artists to the world market through the K-Art Fair.”
