Art Magazine, China

Beautiful paintings like Lady in Shimmering Light, by Yim Mau-kun, … transcend time and distance. Though Mau-kun has lived all of his 64 years in the Far East, this stunning work features a classic quality that crosses geographic and cultural boundaries…. There is, after all, no need for a translator when it comes to brilliant brushstrokes and powerful compositions.”

The Artist Magazine

Perhaps the most striking element to Master Yim’s painting and drawing is the use of light, which infuses his art with a sense of hopefulness; a feeling of lightness and emotional connection with the subject. This connection is magnified when color is present, and Master Yim’s understanding of color in its tactile use and symbolic relationship embody his subjects with a welcoming aura that allows the viewer to approach his work without inhibition.”

Damian Goidich

I think Yim Mau-Kun’s work is amazing. I am a painter/draughtsman and a teacher. I have a great love for work that is both filled with knowledge of the old masters and unique at the same time. I believe your work has both.”
