“Three Nude Women” ~ Byun Shi Ji

I’ve been on the lookout for some new art. Something that moves me, something that inspires me, and something that is not commonly found in other art connoisseur’s homes. I spent a lengthy discussion with my close friend David Jerod Tolbert aka “Diva”, owner and founder of divaDMedia. The country of discussion was Korea. When you think of art, you don’t usually think of Korea, however, it offers just as strong attributes as its other Asian counterparts. Korean art possesses several distinguishing characteristics that is easily recognizable. For one, it respects nature and the human form. Second, it offers quiet and subdued colors whether in its paintings or ceramics and pottery. My next art purchase check will be made payable to Kim IL- Hwa, a Korean artist represented by DMart. I enjoy how Kim’s paintings offer humor along with bold exaggerations. I admire the painting by Kim titled “A Deep Forest”. I notice a sense of quiet harmony, meaning that there is no excess, the right materials being selected in scale with the surroundings. Also, her constant use of the lotus flower suggests a explicit lesbian imagery. For more of her work and images click here~
