The metaphor helps us to express ideas that otherwise it can be very difficult to explain. It is a great tool used by all kinds of artists to report and to which we sometimes go to better understand the social, cultural or political panorama.
There are many cartoonists who in strips they show us the dislike of different decisions political or uncritically display their most fervent criticism of a new movement or trend that is carrying away entrenched traditions. Henn Kim takes us to his artistic work or series of illustrations through his gaze to get fully into his few metaphors.
That metaphor from the illustration also places us from another perspective towards certain elements of a society. The so-called intelligent humor is also found in these parts and a clear and concise drawing can get us to cross the threshold or fog that grips us in thought.
Is in that routine of everyday objects or in passing before the same people where Kim plays his best cards to try to free us from them. A black and white where it seems that Henn Kim is very comfortable for not needing anything more than those two contrasts to illustrate shadows, ideas and regrets.
Since pulling a roll of paper that turns into a film or what is a vase of flowers where a woman breathes enough to keep them upright. Many of these illustrations give the viewer the position of power to take what inspires him or makes him think.
Play with that perspective for a woman whoe you can go diving in your own shadow to almost get lost or that couple who hug while she takes a selfie to remember it while part of the energy escapes towards the stick that holds the smartphone.
