Artwork on the theme of violence
Kim Wan was brought up in a household with a strict Catholic Influence, a faith he was later to question, and in VIOLENTS, the artist reflects on classical religious themes, drawing upon personal history to explore issues of belief and identity in a fragmented 21st century.
Kim Wan’s obsession with the materiality of paint and what Gilles Deleuze described in relation to Francis Bacon, as the ‘Body, Meat and Spirit’ of art permeates this new work.
