Kim Yesol
Yesol Kim (1999) is a sculptor, DJ and Influencer and the creator of Yesol-bot ceramic robots.
In her works, Yesol seeks to give form and materialize memories and feelings from her childhood, because the image of the robot is directly related to the artist's early life.
Yeosol's childhood was spent in Seoul, which had a significant impact on her creative development. Hence the title of her first series of works -SEOULSI, which was first presented at the Blazar 2024 fair.
“Two years ago, when my son came into my life, his birth became the starting point of my creativity. Life changed, previous busyness faded into the background. The forced, but at the same time pleasant pause in the usual routine led to a reflection of the whole experience. The more I spend time with my children (two of them today), the more vividly I remember my childhood.
This is how SEOULSI's first series of ceramic robots was born, consisting of seven sculptures. Each robot represents a neighborhood in Seoul with which I have special, fond memories from my childhood.
Contrary to popular perceptions of robots as cold, soulless machines designed to perform purely utilitarian functions, SEOULSI's robots are, on the contrary, a form that has no practical meaning but carries a deep meaning and emotional experience. Each robot is handmade. The period from conception to full realization of one robot varies from one month to six months.”
