August 2022: Nahyun Kim

Nahyun Kim is a Korean-American painter living and working in San Francisco. Having immigrated to the Bay Area at age 10, her works reinterpret landscapes that exist within her through memories, familial ties, folk tales and dreams. Kim’s artistic practice redefines and expands upon symbols of empowerment that transcends the rigidity of societal expectations, so that we can rise above.

Kim earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon University, and has exhibited at Glass Rice (San Francisco, CA), Swim Gallery (San Francisco, CA), Root Division (San Francisco, CA), Abrams Claghorn Gallery (Albany, CA), CounterPulse (San Francisco, CA) and Little Raven Gallery (San Francisco, CA) among others.
