Kim Byungkwan’s portraits remind us not to become hypnotized by routine and familiarity. Her intriguing works take the predictable theme of portraiture, and sometimes iconic figures, and distort the faces of the subjects. This disturbing destruction of humanness creates a jarring experience resulting in a renewed distrust of familiarity. By seeing the familiar from an objective place, one can expand on ideas and experiences, often forming more accurate or liberated conceptions.
