Kim Seoul is a Korean artist whose layered botanical works bridge silkscreen, sculpture, and installation. Using silkscreen on transparent acrylic and film, she creates luminous “gardens” where overlapping images shift with the viewer’s movement. Her practice, once focused on the isolating rhythms of urban life, turned inward during the pandemic, inspired by the quiet intimacy of tending indoor plants. These meditative, labor-intensive works reflect on time, care, and the quiet vitality of nature in modern life.At the core of her process is color separation, a printmaking technique in which each hue is printed from a separate plate. Kim approaches this methodically—mentally deconstructing images by color, layering them in sequence. Yet the final work always carries an element of unpredictability, shaped by time, material, and process. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with pieces in the collections of the RISD Museum, He Art Museum (China), and Seattle City Hall.
