Echoes of Nature – Landscape Art by KHJ Studio

Bridging the divide between nature and urban life, traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, KHJ Studio, led by Kim HyunJoo, presents a harmonious blend of art, craft, and sustainability. Her enchanting ‘Landscape’ series, a collection of stone sculptures that mimic the serene composure of zen rock gardens, embodies a deep reverence for natural materials and traditional Korean techniques. By utilising the robustness of stone, Kim HyunJoo endeavours to bring forth the understated beauty of nature through each meticulously crafted piece.

Kim HyunJoo’s journey as an artist and designer has been one of constant exploration and synthesis. Her design philosophy, deeply embedded in the pursuit of ‘Plus Nature’, calls for a balance between opposing elements. Her practice stands as a testament to the timeless allure of quality materials, innovative ideas, and respect for nature. Whether it’s the textured charm of stone or the flexible grace of Hanji paper, her work celebrates the vibrancy of nature and the potential of sustainable design.

With her sculptural objects finding homes and acclaim across the globe, Kim HyunJoo’s work proves that boundaries are only as formidable as we make them. The ‘Landscape’ series, reminiscent of monochromatic Oriental landscape paintings, continues the narrative of this ancient art form in a tangible, three-dimensional format. Carved from rock and brought to life by the artist’s vision and skill, each sculpture invites us to rediscover the beauty of nature, offering a tranquil sanctuary amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life.
