    Hyeonyoung Kim(b.1995) is a South Korean artist based in Seoul.
    Her recent works in ceramics explore the coincidence, inevitability, and love that happen in life.
    She translates and visualizes events by substituting accidental events that happen in life into the materiality of clays.
    She explains her works in a sentence below,
    “I wish to give their own volition to clays.”
     In 2021, She completed her studies in the Graduate Program of Ceramics at Seoul National University of Science and Technology,
    having previously earned her Bachelor’s degree at the same institution in 2019.
    She has received an Excellence Award at the International Ceramics Competition Gyeonggi in Korea in 2024,
    as well as at the Mino competition in Japan and the FRANZ Rising Star Project in Taiwan in 2021.
    Since that year, She has participated in several group exhibitions, including Everything is in its Place (2021) at SeMA Storage, Made, Created, Formed(2023),
    Still, a Happy Ending (2024), Art Busan (2024). Additionally, she has held 6 solo exhibitions during this period.
    그녀의 최근 작업들은 삶에서 일어나는 우연과 필연, 사랑에 대해 탐구한다.
    그녀는 삶에서 일어나는 우연한 사건들을  흙의 물질성에 대입하여, 사건을 번역한다.
     작품의 주된 재료인 광물질을 직접 배합하고, 소성을 통해 물질에 내재한 성질이 어떻게 발현되는지 주목한다.
    인간 또한 화학적 물질로 이루어진 사물임을 인식함으로써, 육안의 세계에서 벗어나 생동하는 물질 그 자체로써 세계와 조우한다.
    인간과 사물 간의 화해의 다리를 놓기를 시도한다.

    그녀는 그녀의 작업을 아래의 한 문장으로 설명한다.
    “나는 흙에게도 자유의지를 부여하고자 한다.”
