Artist representation by URBK LAB
시각예술가 김연경은 손으로 제작한 회화와 AI 기반 미디어아트를 병행하며 기억과 상실, ‘반려’의 감각을 주제로 이미지 생성 과정에서의 인간과 인공지능의 차이를 탐구하고, 고전 회화의 차용부터 디지털 변환과 영상 확장에 이르기까지 회화의 존재 방식과 동시대 예술의 경계를 실험한다.
Visual artist Kim Yeon kyung works across hand-painted canvases and AI-based media art, exploring themes of memory, loss, and companionship while investigating the differences between human and artificial image-making processes, and expanding classical painting into digital, moving, and media-based forms to question the contemporary condition of painting.
