In Hee Soo Kim’s series of work “Raw & Wild,” Kim expresses a wide variety of feelings from Kim’s daily life in New York. In his layered figurative paintings we can see that he is trying to explain many stories such like himself, neighbors, friends, his workplace, and his life in the community which he had chance to meet many people from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

 Kim enjoys the act of rendering people and animals in layers of paint with a strong emphasis on the yellowish color of the sand and soil of Kim’s native seaside, Haenam, South Korea. His technique of line is also quite raw and wild.
