Kim Wan was born in England in 1970. |
| About the Artist | |
Kim Wan produces paintings, drawings and objects which he imbues with a gestural and authentic finish. These build up over time to create new bodies of work. Through investigation and self-reflection, a symbiotic process begins and the work takes on its own identity. This is process-led and involves different materials. |
