Through his work, Kimsunken adopts a minimalist view of figuration, hinting at the human figure and the human condition through texture, line and coloration. He works to literally peel back the layers in his compositions by scraping back the paint he applies to the canvas in an intimate and individualized manner specific to each artwork. Questions of figure and identity are necessarily a part of each work by Kimsunken, as the subtle changes in color and texture across the canvas address questions about growth, change and the implications of embracing a dynamic identity.
