Kim Tai-Ho

Kim Tai-Ho’s paintings begin and end in the unknown. They provoke questions about barely, sometimes completely, unrecognizable images. Rather than forcibly proving the purity of non-existence, he believes in the purity of existence, so that in his works nostalgia and the naiveté of a child’s mind occupy the major part of his attention.
