about me

CHRISTINE KIM is a Korean-Canadian paper artist based in Toronto.

Christine explores portraiture through drawing, painting, cutting and layering. Through this process of collage, Kim examines the surface, shape and volume to conceal and reveal the figure. The interplay between layers and the shadows they cast offer the viewer moments of stillness and movement, fragility and solidity, rigidity and organic flow.

Christine gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council in sustaining and advancing her artistic practice.
