Fink’s exhibition, Works on Paper, features a series of mixed-media prints offering a visual diary or personal “travelogue” of his journeys through the image-laden landscapes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. His works often build upon and respond to one another while exploring issues of place and identity. Beginning with images drawn largely from contemporary mass media, Fink layers, modifies, and manipulates his “found” forms to reveal links to myth, philosophy, literature, and political and social concerns. His pictorial arrangements are composed of resonating colors, objects, and textures that create a visual poetry open to multiple interpretations.
  
Kim William Fink recently completed a residency at Arti Visive School of the Arts in Florence, Italy, and is Professor of Art at University of North Dakota in Grand Forks where he has taught printmaking since 1999. He has an active exhibition record of solo and group shows and his work is included in a number of national and international public collections.
