John Junior Kim is a mixed-media artist and designer based in Brooklyn, New York, driven by an intrinsic curiosity toward materials and a desire to create satisfying compositions.

His practice dwells within the categories of painting, sculpture, and furniture. The useful objects he creates emphasize comfort and intuition. They are honest pieces that present themselves plainly and offer lessons in the characteristics of their materials, such as how wood grain rolls or how an opal refracts light.

Alongside these, he creates paintings and sculptures that come together through entropic processes of material addition and subtraction. These works are less calculated and often serve as emotional releases or explorations of form and color.
