Featured Exhibition –
Wings Of Grace: Wonsook Kim
Presented by Gallery Elim
Korean exhibiting Gallery Elim will present one of the featured exhibitions at the LA Art Show 2023. Wings of Grace draws from Wonsook Kim’s experience as a Korean immigrant. A painter of magical, vivid landscapes, and a storyteller of the universality of human hardships, Wonsook has created a visual diary of her life. With a personal style combining a childlike point of view and the expert craftsmanship of an experienced artist and colorist, Wonsook’s work represents a unique Korean sensibility. More here.
