Rokan Kim is a South Korean artist working across media art, painting, and installation. Using collage and video compositing techniques, he creates surreal visual narratives that combine social and cultural phenomena of the 1960s and 1970s with his own personal experiences. His work focuses on the dualities inherent in human life and society, such as good and evil, optimism and pessimism, beauty and fear, exploring how the same event or phenomenon can be interpreted differently depending on individual experience and perspective.
His representative series, Space Oddity, examines the contrasting realities of an astronaut’s life as well as the beauty and fear associated with outer space. In Sea the Wall, Kim explores the complex and often contradictory relationships among the sea, architecture, and humanity. Through these works, he invites viewers to move beyond a single interpretation and experience multiple perspectives within the same image or narrative. By combining familiar imagery with unexpected environments, Kim creates immersive visual worlds that encourage reflection on the contradictions and complexities of contemporary life.
로칸 킴(Rokan Kim)은 미디어 아트, 회화, 설치 등 다양한 장르를 넘나들며 작업하는 한국의 아티스트입니다. 콜라주와 영상 합성 기법을 바탕으로 1960~70년대의 사회·문화적 현상과 작가 자신의 경험을 결합하여 초현실적인 시각 세계를 만들어냅니다. 작가는 선과 악, 긍정과 부정, 아름다움과 두려움처럼 하나의 대상이나 현상 안에 공존하는 양면성에 주목하며, 동일한 사건 역시 개인의 경험과 관점에 따라 다르게 해석될 수 있다는 점을 작품을 통해 탐구합니다.
대표 연작인 Space Oddity는 우주비행사의 화려함과 고독이라는 상반된 삶의 모습과 함께 우주가 지닌 아름다움과 두려움을 동시에 다룹니다. 또 다른 대표 연작 Sea the Wall에서는 바다와 건축, 인간 사이에 형성되는 복합적이고 양면적인 관계를 탐구합니다. 익숙한 이미지와 낯선 공간을 결합한 로칸 킴의 작품은 하나의 정해진 해석을 제시하기보다 관객이 자신의 경험을 투영하여 서로 다른 시선과 의미를 발견하도록 이끕니다.
