Nicola Vassell is pleased to announce its representation of artist Na Kim, whose series of paintings offer a nuanced exploration of perception, memory and belief. This announcement follows Kim’s debut exhibition with the gallery in January of this year, titled Memory Palace.

The concept of Memory Palace—or the Method of Loci, a technique of mentally reconstructing space—mirrors Kim’s approach to painting. Rooted in repetition, her process challenges both herself and her viewer to continually rethink her chosen subjects. Her paintings reveal how much information is needed to recognize and understand any given subject: by whittling away what is extraneous, she attempts to capture only what is foundational.
