Bold, graphic works bursting with vibrant joy.
Integrating the real with the surreal, Melbourne based artist Amy Kim paints with interlocking geometric shapes and bold colour usage. Figures, scenes and settings are characterised in abstract form which combine methods from constructivism, fauvism, expressionism and surrealism.
With a bold, purposeful brush and clean-line style, her works blend between pure abstraction and representations of florals, still life scenes and figures clarified to their most central forms, shapes and colours. Her works evoke paper-cut art, and the genre defining exploration of the bauhaus style.

"Colour is deeply emotional in my practice. I often feel that colours speak before forms do. Each one carries its own presence, and when they come together, they create subtle conversations—sometimes harmonious, sometimes slightly unresolved. I’m drawn to those delicate tensions, where colour becomes a way to express feelings that words cannot quite reach." – Amy Kim
