Artist Statement:Featured Artist: Bob Kim

Featured Artist: Bob Kim

Bob Kim captures the essence of everpresent natural beauty and our primordial connection to it. He creates images that transcend the limits of camera and film, a vision of nature’s panoramic grandeur, timeless and unspoiled. His artistry is a unique combination of the camera’s eye and the mind’s envision. It is his original method of mixing classic painting techniques and traditional fine art photography and latest digital tools that gives physical presence as well as emotionally dramatic lighting, greater range of color fidelity and extraordinary details. Bob Kim was born in Seoul, Korea in 1961, and moved to the United States with his family in 1975. He studied fine arts and photography at the Maryland Institute of College of Art in Maryland, graduating with a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts in 1983.

Kim's rendition of Hedrick pond in Wyoming is the product of over two hundred photographs, edited down to thirty images taken in a two-week period from five different viewpoints of the park. It took him over a month to create the final composite image, a result of extensive color correction, dodging, burning, and masking.   Bob Kim - Free Artist Portfolio at absolutearts.com Bob Kim, MistyMorningatLostLake OR, 2001, http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/b/bobkim/
