Bio
Dae Hong Kim is a Korean artist who’s work makes use of a great number of media and materials and thus, tongue in cheek, avoids any form of categorization. A common factor in all his works is a sense of the surreal about them, sometimes joined by a rather black sense of humor. They often operate in a border zone between fun and sadness. He constructs small robots reminiscent of animals, which move about the floor resembling scurrilous and half-finished beings.
He was born in 1974, currently lives and works in DaLat, Vietnam.
