Jinchul Kim: The Language of Common Ground

February 21 - April 1, 2022
SU Art Galleries | University Gallery

Jinchul Kim is a distinguished figurative painter and professor of art at SU. His most recent work explores the phenomenology of language, specifically the common ground we are able to find despite differences in dialects. He combines multilingual text and psychologically complex cinematic scenes with “ghosts of vision” that disrupt an easy reading of his paintings. Through that calculated mix his work evokes the liminal stage of college life as he observes it unfolding around him everyday.
