Returning warblers will be in their less flamboyant fall plumage. Catch a glimpse of spot blackbirds, flycatchers, sparrows, vireos, and swallows on the move.

Yool Kim Exhibition: Open Reception

Sat, Sep 12 · 3:00 PM

Industry City · Greenwood Heights

Open Reception Sept 12th 3 – 6pm! Court Tree Collective is proud to present “The Place Memory Keeps,” the fourth New York City solo exhibition by Yool Kim. Building upon the emotional language that has come to define her practice, this new body of work ventures further into the quiet, dreamlike spaces where memory, longing, and imagination converge. Kim’s paintings are driven by a continual pursuit of images that resonate on a deeply human level. Her figures and landscapes exist between reality and recollection, inviting viewers into intimate moments that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Each composition is imbued with a sense of stillness and emotional depth, revealing a painter committed to creating works that speak as much to the soul as they do to the eye. While rooted in the timeless traditions of painting, Kim’s practice embraces a distinctly contemporary sensibility. She balances classical aesthetics with modern techniques, creating luminous surfaces and nuanced compositions that feel both enduring and unmistakably of the present. In The Place Memory Keeps, she continues to refine this visual language, offering a collection of paintings that linger long after they are seen works that remind us how memory shapes not only the places we have been, but the people we become.
