The alluring, imaginative world of Dan-ah Kim

I Hunt You

I love art that makes me look at it for a long time.  Such is the beautiful work of Brooklyn artist Dan-ah Kim.  Each piece she creates is like a story in itself, with heroines traversing through fantasy woods, fields, waters, and skies.

Dan-ah's art reminds me of the short French novel, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.  There is the common theme of celestial elements, but I realize it's more than that. Like the book, Dan-ah's art is a weaving of childlike innocence and the mature matters of the human heart and mind.
