GaYoung Kim, also known as GaGa or Gabong, is a Seoul-based handcraft artist exploring contemporary aesthetics through objects and material experiments. While her early practice was shaped by extensive art education and philosophical inquiry, her current creations exist purely for their aesthetic resonance.
“Hiss… hiss… hiss…”
Beware the rattlesnake—its tail may rattle, but my hands do not.
Rejection, melancholy, despair may strike, yet I keep creating, steady and unshaken.
Beyond her artistic practice, GaYoung also works professionally as a gallery curator, bridging art-making and exhibition-making with equal passion.

Laziness, 2020
하기 싫은 일을 미루는 게으름에서 오는 아늑함과 불편함을 시각적으로 표현했다.
설거지는 하기 싫고, 귀찮은 일을 대표한다. 그런 일을 미뤘을 때는 쿠션의 cozy함을 느낀다, 그리고 동시에 해야 할 일을 하지 않았을 때 느끼는 저항하기 힘든 불편함은 비일상적인 크기의 오브제들로 보여주고 있다. 쿠션은 다양한 소재의 fabric으로 제작된다. 린넨, 캔버스, 가죽 등이 있다. 다양한 소재는 쿠션의 편안함과는 상충하는 쌓여있는 설거지 거리의 카오스에 힘을 더해준다.
