Traditional images of Jesus Christ tend to come off on the somber side. But Yongsung Kim is trying for a different approach. Indeed, the Korean artist is taking on the steep challenge of changing how the world pictures the crucified religious leader. Kim became a Christian in middle school and a cartoonist as a young adult. When he was 20, he had a dream that God asked him, “What are you doing with the gifts I’ve given you?” From there he felt compelled to paint an image of Christ he hadn’t seen very often.

Recently, the artist flew to Utah for a Q&A as part of a collaboration with Foundation Arts. Over 150 people filled the gallery at the University Mall in Orem as Kim spoke about the creative process behind his paintings. “Maybe God isn’t particular about what medium hope appears through,” Tammi Garlick, Director of Gallery Operations, tells The Creators Project. “And if it’s through art, then surely it would be something like this—inoffensive and bright.” If nothing else, Kim takes something old and storied, and does something new. And that's art.
