Yoonkee Kim exhibits a broad range of expressive styles and experimental methods in Read, a publication of the musician’s drawings and mixed-media works. While most of the drawings included contain figures, animals and/or biomorphic imagery, Kim occasionally expands into energetic, neon abstractions that disrupt the scale and timidity of his illustrative works. Several drawing, painting, and digital illustration tools have found their way into Kim’s collection; his large-scale paintings and other pieces have received positive attention in/around Seoul, South Korea, where Kim was born and continues to work and produce music.
Along with Read, Yoonkee Kim’s 2017 production contains an avant-garde jazz EP entitled ‘New Chocolate’.
