Jean Jinho Kim

Jean Jinho Kim was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to the United States after graduating from high school. She earned her BFA in painting from West Virginia University in Morgantown and her MFA in studio art at СÀ¶ÊÓƵ in Washington, DC.

She intentionally selects familiar materials for her work, such as downspouts, aluminum, wood and autobody parts, to create new shapes and concepts with a recognizable foundation. Kim also creates particular forms using specific colors to bring relevant and current issues to life. Currently, Kim is a member of STABLE Arts community in DC and has exhibited her work in several solo and numerous group exhibitions in the US, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong and South Korea. She participated in residency programs in Berlin, Germany and Seravezza, Italy. Kim’s work has been reviewed by The Washington Post, The Korean Times, and Korea Daily.
