Kenny Kimm is an artist, architect, designer, and creative thinker at large. With his interests in architecture, space, and phenomenology, it was inevitable for him to create art that reciprocated those ideas. Such examples include opposites of reality and imagination, finite and infinite, the physical and the spiritual, negative and positive space. He enjoys producing works that accentuate the tension between reality and dreams. These ideas are presented through his choice of material (often transparent), selection of structure, and usage of surrounding environment.
His sculptural pieces create a heightened awareness of the fact that our grasp of spatial situations is a multi-layered experience, which consists of viewing, moving, feeling, self-perception, imagination, knowledge, and memory. Through his works, he challenges observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality and force viewers to become sensitive to their surroundings.
"I've always been intrigued by boundaries and the spaces between them."
–Kenny Kimm
His recent two-part solo exhibition titled, "Living in Space," embraces what he strives for in art – not only the process of how we visually understand space, but also how we physically interact with space.
