Mie Yim (b. 1963, S. Korea) is a New York-based Korean artist working primarily in painting, drawing and occasionally other media. The juxtaposition of brilliant colors and dramatic content is a fundamental feature of the artist’s notion of beauty—which is almost always accompanied by an underlying sense of horror. Yim’s mode of expression bridges compelling dichotomies: luminosity and darkness, artificiality and organic matter, order and chaos, harmony and violence.

Recent solo exhibitions include: Nightshade (Simone Subal Gallery, New York, NY, USA, 2023), Belladonna, (Olympia Gallery, New York, NY, 2023), Mie Yim: Saints, Shamans, and Batshit Crazies (Inna Art Space, Hangzhou, China, 2023), Fluid Boundaries (Brattleboro Art Museum, Brattleboro, VT, USA, 2022), Mie Yim: Mutants (Villa Magdalena, Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain, 2021).
