At once unstructured and remarkably constructed, Dan Kim’s sculptures are the result of assembling elements he has modeled himself, to which are sometimes added fragments of broken ceramics, scraps that have had one existence and are about to find another.

Although there seems to be no apparent logic behind the final form, the eye is impressed by a remarkable science of tension, balance and composition, which is fully expressed in the sense of freeze-frame conveyed by his works; as if the intrinsic speed and movement they exude had suddenly frozen: Coucou!
