Theo Ganz Studio presents a solo exhibition of drawings and paintings by Mison Kim. No Privileged Position will be on view Sept. 13 through Oct. 5, 2014, with an opening reception for the artist from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13. This is the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery.

Kim was born in Seoul, Korea, and emigrated to the United States when she was 19.  She was awarded a National Talent Scholarship, which enabled her to attend Pratt Institute where she received both her BFA and MFA (1997).

In addition to the two drawings, No Privileged Position will include five paintings completed between 2009 and 2014. The elaborate build-up of color and shape is meticulously handcrafted over an extended period of time and is created in such a manner that “keeps the eyes moving, allowing them to alight upon certain moments where they might attempt to make sense of the space.”

Kim lives and works in Greenville, New York. Contact Eleni Smolen, [email protected] or visit theoganzstudio.com. Hours:  Friday through Sunday noon to 5 p.m. and by appointment: 917-318-2239. Theo Ganz Studio is located at 149 Main St., Beacon.
