Born in 1972, Korean-Chinese artist C.P. Kim avoids bright colors and opts for softer hues to introduce greater naturalism into his original oil paintings. A graduate of YenByen Art College, C.P. Kim has exhibited in Shanghai and Beijing several times and has also been introduced in Japan and Korea. With the growing popularity of the oriental color scheme and technique in the U.S., C.P. Kim has become a very successful international artist. He is particularly known for his original oil paintings of misty lakes and forest trails, which reflect the peace and stability found in traditional Korean landscapes. He is already known and respected by gallery experts throughout the United States.
