Meet Dosa Kim, an Atlanta-based graphic designer and illustrator with a knack for creating the most surreal (and sometimes disturbing) works of art through various forms of media. Kim’s latest solo exhibition, High Contrast, will flood the walls of Invisible NYC Art Gallery come Thursday, featuring massive canvases in primarily black and white paint, but with added splashes of bright color. After studying graphic design at the Art Institute of Atlanta, Kim now keeps himself busy with consulting work for ad agencies, promoters and Georgia-based clothing lines, in addition to spending time in the studio. Though Kim’s pieces can be described as minimalistic, they are always bold in design, often incorporating pseudo-traditional Asian aesthetics to portray the rich culture of the American south. Head to Invisible NYC’s Lower East Side art space this Thursday evening for the opening reception of High Contrast, and see Kim’s eye-opening artwork for yourself.
