Syncing with Pixel Kim

A picture of Sarah Pickthall with Pixel Kim in Paris in September 2024 during the Paralympics. We're standing infant of one of Pixel's drawings.

Wonderful to share Pixel Kim, a dear artist friend from South Korea as an example of a quiet, charismatic, collaborative leader.

Pixel’s art making is infectious. When he starts making, other artists come and join him and start making too. This week we started to explore the different ways we approach making artwork in our session. It was so good to do that together.

Izzati shared that she has many pieces on the go at any one time, it keeps her happy. Charlie shared the inspiration for her new work as part of the residency, once she’s found the image, she goes straight to canvas. Thompson uses pencils to explore the work before he starts to paint. Andi is still thinking about where he might focus his thinking and artwork on at this time. He has many followers and many ideas he wants to realise.
