Profile

Bongmin Shim (b. 1983, Korea)

Bongmin Shim is a contemporary Korean artist who identifies himself as a "gardener of memories," cultivating landscapes of nostalgia and longing. Although grounded in Oriental Painting (M.F.A., Hongik Univ.), he utilizes acrylics to create warm, narrative-driven works that bridge the gap between traditional sensibility and modern storytelling.

His works are held in prominent collections, including the Seoul Museum, Hana Bank, and IBK Bank. Shim captures the innocence of forgotten moments—paper planes, hidden companions, and lush gardens—inviting viewers to revisit their own cherished memories in a whimsical and comforting world.
