KimyiBo is a Korean-American artist living in Berlin. KimyiBo’s art engages with concepts that arise from living as an im/migrant and care-giver through prints, drawings, artist-books, and collaborative practice. Like a mycorrhizal network, the themes of transitioning, growth, ambivalence, resilience, and hope make up her underground network of roots, sprouting seedlings of new works.

Resonating with her biography characterized by the cadence of immigrating and emigrating, her visual materialisations are perpetually in flux, always in the process of searching, between the figurative and abstract, between socially engaged and studio practice, between text and images. Consequently, KimyiBo’s artistic expressions take a multiplicity of forms. Yet there exist characteristics common in all her works: the evidence of her sensitivity to materials (especially paper and pigments), and the presence of hope. 

KimyiBo has been presenting her works regularly since 2004 in Seoul, Minneapolis, Geneva, and Berlin including 6 solo/duo exhibitions.
