ABOUT THE ARTIST
KIM TAE-HO (b. 1948, Busan) is a South Korean abstract artist who employs meticulous layering and scraping of acrylic paint onto the two-dimensional surface. The colours and sculptural quality of his works shows a reversion to the painterly aesthetics of Dansaekhwa, establishing himself as one of the leading monochromatic painters since the 1970s.
He graduated from the College of Fine Arts at Hongik University in Seoul, where he majored in painting, in 1972, and he received his MFA from the Graduate School of Education at Hongik University in 1984. His major solo exhibitions include Gallery Hyundai (1985 & 1991), Seoul, Korea, Kamakura Gallery(1996) and Tokyo Gallery (2002), Tokyo, Japan, Sung Kok Museum (2007), Seoul, Korea, and most recently ‘Operating Space Structure’ at Busan Museum of Art (2015), Busan, Korea. He has participated extensively in group exhibitions both in Korea and abroad, such as China, Japan, the Philippines, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Germany, the United States.
Amongst the many awards received, the year 2003 saw TaeHo’s attainment of the Grand Prize at the 2nd Buil Art Competition, Busan, Korea, and in 1982, he received the Grand Prize at Gonggan Printmaking Competition. His works have been collected by The British Museum, London, UK; the National Museum of Contemporary Art and Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea; Busan Municipal Museum of Art, Busan, Korea; Daejeon Municipal Museum of Art, Daejeon, Korea; Shimonoseki Museum, Shimonoseki, Japan; and the Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Guangzhou, China, among others.
