MiHee Kim Magee is a South Korean born, London based abstract painter.


As a self-taught artist, her artistic development has been strongly influenced by the philosophy of avant-garde/free jazz, experimental and improvised music, which she discovered while living in Australia and has been engaging with for over a decade, connecting with it through her work as an album cover artist with international record labels.

​

Her painting involves the pursuit of spiritual aims through experimental, improvised processes that lead to uncertain and new outcomes, continually challenging herself to explore new possibilities.

 

She enjoys working with a wide variety of materials, using strong gestures and elements of collage to bring out a distinction between foreground and background, sharp and subtle, material and spiritual.

"MiHee Kim Magee's abstract, mixed media paintings build on the type of unplanned, improvised and intuitive techniques associated with Helen Frankenthaler or Frank Bowling and connect them to the philosophy of avant-garde jazz and experimental music, constantly challenging herself to discover new forms and unpredictable outcomes in the paintings themselves."
