NADA New York 2025

Patricia Fleming Gallery’s presentation features a suite of paintings made by Sooun Kim between 2023 and 2025 alongside his groundbreaking video Echoes.

With a background rooted in classical painting, Kim’s artworks are formally meticulous and hyperreal. Read intertextually, they resonate a method of speculative fictioning seen most beautifully in the writings of J. G. Ballard or William S. Burroughs. These paintings are hallucinogenic; heterotopic, in that they juxtapose incompatible temporalities and differing senses of reality within a single world space, one rife with optimistic futurity.
