Kim Sun-Doo (b. 1958) was born in Jangheung, Korea. Kim graduated from Chung-Ang University with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Korean painting. From 1994 to 2024, Kim served as a professor in the Department of Korean Painting at the College of Arts, Chung-Ang University, and he is currently a professor emeritus. Kim utilizes a traditional Korean painting technique which maximizes the viewpoint of the landscape to represent the harmony of humans and nature all in one perspective. While his works share an affinity to traditional ink paintings with dozens of ink layers on Korean rice paper called Jangji, they are also imbued with contemporary wit and satire by representing recognizable modern objects within nature through the bright contrasts of colors.  Kim has won many artist awards throughout his career, including 'The 3rd Bu-il Art Awards' in 2003 and 'The 12th Seok-nam Art Awards' in 1993. He has also participated in nationally and internationally acclaimed exhibitions that promote the beauty and philosophy of Korean paintings, including the ‘2020 Yeosu International Art Exhibition', 'Yeosu 2021 Look at the Water with Your Back Against the Mountain', and 'Jeonnam Museum of Art Opening’ in Gwangyang.
