However, the form of a house is not depicted concretely, but it only appears that audience can associate that it is a house. Just in that part, a positive involvement of the audience is made. Through brilliant variations and feats of color by usage of an artist's fingertip, forgotten pieces of memory became lovely memories again–leading to our experience of spiritual consolation.

The works of artist Andy Kim(서양화가 김명식,김명식 작가,キムミョンシク,Andy Kim,ARTIST KIM MYUNG SIK,金明植,김명식 화백.김명식 교수)satisfy an instinctive return to the audience, let them feel utopia, and get consolation of their spirits. In addition, the deformation performed by an artist stimulates our imagination and even provides a sense of space. The modifiers hanging around the artist make him a magician or alchemist of color itself.

We cannot but admit this routine modifier is operating when we face his works. The house that associates with our memory, the imagination stimulated by deformation, and the feast of color that his knife made, remind us of the sun shining on a clear spring day-and also lets us feel an exotic morning scenery in a strange place with healthy energy.
