From the perspective of color, including his utopian vision, Kim Seeks to express the motif of artistic ideals in the imagery of the sun.
——Art critic Bao Guitao
Some people say that those who chase the light always have a hopeful life. If a person has a sunshine mentality, then his life will certainly not be bleak; if a work of art overflows with the image of the sun, then it must warm the viewer's heart.
As a representative painter of contemporary Korean women's art, Kim Sang-sook is a veritable "light-seeker", because from her works, we can always feel a positive and beautiful energy.
For Kim Sang-sook, she has two "special skills" associated with sunlight, one is her clever use of sunlight in her works, and the other is the beautiful hope conveyed through her works.
Some people say that for impressionist painters, light is the soul that permeates the work. The fields, birds, beauties, flowers in Kim Sang-sook's works... Thanks to the blessing of the sun, the softness and warmth of spring are overflowing. Hope, more or less, grows slowly in this furry, warm and melting sunshine.
This is Kim Sang-sook's charm control of light, she makes the works vivid and sensual because of life, and also allows life to empower warmth because of the works.
Chase the light and become the light. The joys of the world are all more lovely and amiable because of the temperature of the sun.
