Ha Taeim

Ha taeim (b. 1973) is an artist known for her distinctive approach to abstraction, characterized by vivid color and a refined sense of composition. Born in Seoul, she studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris and later earned her doctoral degree from Hongik University. She has held thirty seven solo exhibitions at institutions such as POSCO Art Museum, Helen J Gallery in Los Angeles, gallery AP SPACE in New York, Artside Gallery in Beijing, the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, Young Eun Museum of Contemporary Art, Shema Museum of Art, and Seoul Auction. She has also participated in about three hundred group exhibitions in Korea and abroad. Until 2018, she served as a full time professor in the Department of Art Contents at Sahmyook University, stepping down to focus entirely on her practice. She received the Monaco Kingdom Award at the Monaco International Contemporary Painting Exhibition in 1999. Her works are held in the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Korea, Seoul Museum of Art, Samsung Electronics, the Seoul Family Court, and the lobby of the Capella Hotel in Singapore, the venue of the 2018 North Korea United States summit, as well as by various institutions and private collectors. Hataeim creates her paintings through a process of repeatedly layering paint across the canvas. A single band of color is formed through multiple applications, sometimes more than ten, creating tones and forms that feel both radiant and controlled. The accumulation of many layered color bands produces a clear and luminous surface, within which subtle moods and emotional nuances emerge through shifts in density and rhythm. The structured yet musical flow of the image forms her distinctive visual language and continues to expand her unique world of abstraction.
