Label TextKim explores the intersections between abstraction, figuration, pattern, and minimalism in his approach to identity. Emmett at Ten Years is a portrait of Kim’s son. The artist distills Emmett’s likeness into bands of color from his hair down to his shoes. The length and width of the canvas and its positioning close to the floor reflect Emmett’s stature at the time of the painting’s creation.ProvenanceMax Protetch, New YorkOn View
