Sean Sungho Kim is a Korean-American Neo-Expressionist painter who creates large scale oil works that explore equilibrium through war, nature, love, and anger. His paintings fuse graffiti scrawls, thick impasto, and explosive color into raw, electrifying statements.
Scrawled symbols, fragmented tags, and gestural marks are imprinted on the surface like hieroglyphs, layered over geometric shapes, dripping paint and bold, expressive colors.
Kim’s work doesn’t depict — it resonates. Joy and pain, love and loss, destruction and rebirth — these are the shared threads that bind us. Each stroke is a fragment of universal energy, seeking connection with the viewer.
His work is held in private collections across the United States.
