Pure Visual Power
JIM KONG – 80 Square Meters of Pure Visual Power
Across 80 square meters, 15 monumental works by Jim Kong unfold — a visual clash between pop culture, social critique, and pure painting. Each work carries a political message — sometimes unmistakable, sometimes hidden beneath dense layers of symbolism.
With playful ease and a sharp, critical eye, Jim Kong fuses reality and fiction into vibrant, thought-provoking images of our time. Humor and gravity, beauty and abyss, are often separated by just a single brushstroke. From the photorealistic sheen of a sensual close-up to the wild, almost chaotic tangle of figures, icons, and metaphors, a charged dialogue of styles and techniques emerges.
Stepping into this exhibition means entering a visual labyrinth — bold, direct, and full of hidden clues to our present. An invitation to all who are ready to see beyond the surface.
