About Kim Chong Hak, Painter of Seoraksan

Kim Chong Hak (born 1937, Sinuiju, Korea) is a master painter from South Korea popularly known as “the painter of Seoraksan”—the highest peak in the country’s Taebaek mountain range. With more than seventy works, including new acquisitions from the High’s collection, this exhibition spans the arc of Kim’s mature career and presents an aspect of Korean art in the late twentieth century little known outside of South Korea.

Having first worked as an abstract painter in the 1960s, Kim ultimately rejected the adoption of Western-style abstraction, which he viewed as a response to national melancholy brought on by previous decades of hardship and deprivation. In the late 1970s, he settled in Gangwon Province, eastern South Korea, home of Mount Seorak. There he sought out an alternative artistic discourse, moving away from the monochromatic painting popular in Korea at that time toward his unabashedly expressive style. He has since dedicated his life and work to interpreting the environs of Mount Seorak, developing an artistic and emotional attunement to the natural world during decades of self-imposed isolation in the mountains.
