Schematic Chart
The Schematic Chart is a comprehensive systematic diagram that visualizes my fundamental thought process. It clearly presents how I perceive life and existence and how I view and execute art, ultimately serving as a map that shows how these two worlds achieve harmony.
The left sector of the chart contains a deep exploration into how I dissect and perceive the source of life and existence. Core concepts like 'Origin,' 'Universe,' 'Black Hole,' 'Nature,' and 'Chaos' are interwoven with the physical dimensions of 'Time' and 'Space.' This reveals that I perceive the world not as a mere phenomenon, but by deconstructing it into fundamental forces and orders. Crucially, the Holon philosophy offers an integrated perspective, showing that every entity is both 'the whole and the part,' forming the core pillar of my ontological thought. This sector is the solid foundation of my artistic contemplation and the very manner in which I perceive the cosmos and the self.
Conversely, the right sector systematically illustrates the method for transforming the contemplation of existence into artistic practice. 'Distorted Artistic Mind' and 'Shifted Topo-logical Thinking' symbolize the process of reinterpreting the Essence received from the source of life through my unique logical framework. Here, 'Principles,' 'Methods,' and 'Ingredients' are detailed, demonstrating how meticulously I construct artistic creation—through the concept of Schematic Medium—with structure and logic. The 'Filter Shelves' and the aesthetic principles of 'Variety, Balance, Harmony' show the refining process as the artistic outcome converges into a modulated state.
Finally, a conceptual bridge, the 'Interactive Flexible Mind Bridge,' spans the distance between the source of life and artistic practice. This bridge, overseen by the 'Aphorism Man,' integrally coordinates all my cognitive and mental functions, including M.O.M (Spirit/Spiritual Awakening/Body etcs.) and MA-EUM (Qualia/Reasons/Emotions etcs.). This is the most dynamic and essential transit zone where the essence of existence I've captured is intensely transformed into artistic language via the 'Distorted Artistic Mind.' This diagram declares that for me, the way I perceive life is the way I practice art; the two are an inseparable, unified world.
The Schematic Chart is not merely a description, but my own declared 'Manifesto of Perfect Harmony.' Through this map, readers are invited to not just appreciate my work, but to jointly experience the fundamental logic from which it was born and the journey of the infinite narrative that is yet to unfold.

What is 'Schematic Medium'?
‘Schematic Medium’ is the core methodology penetrating my artistic world. It is a structure of thinking that does not seek to reproduce the essence of the world, but rather to model how the world operates. This term is defined on two levels

Featured Characters
In the Schematic Chart, my emanated self, RD (Revolutionary Debris), appears alongside other characters. These characters show how my mind and artistic world are structured, and guide viewers to explore my world with enjoyment. Each character goes beyond being a simple symbol and carries the operating principles of the Schematic Medium and hints about forthcoming works. Through this, viewers do not merely appreciate my work but pre-experience another narrative and the possibility of expansion. In the end, this chart is a map that reflects a dimension we do not see in everyday life. Through it I clarify the way I understand and express the world and offer viewers a new visual and philosophical experience. I wish to share not only simple artistic expression but deep thinking and an original perspective.
BYR 99 Prime Elements
BYR 99 Prime Elements constitutes the most fundamental structural framework of Kim Heejo’s visual language. The series establishes the minimal unit of form through ninety‑nine elements—thirty‑three each of Blue, Yellow, and Red. Each element carries a specific formal code: Blue (square / human), Yellow (triangle / nature), and Red (circle / cosmos), and the relationships among these three elements generate the artist’s visual system.
BYR Organic Schemata
BYR Organic Schemata develops from the structure of BYR Prime Elements and demonstrates the organic expansion of the formal system. Through the combination and variation of the basic elements, new configurations of form and structure emerge. The series moves beyond simple geometric units to explore a more fluid and organic visual order.
BYR Quad Origin
BYR Quad Origin investigates the generative principles of form by reducing the fundamental elements of the BYR system into a geometric structure. Within the relationships between basic forms and colors, the works examine structure, balance, and tension. Through minimal compositions, the series reveals the structural foundation of the BYR visual language while allowing diverse formal variations.
Tri Form Series
The Tri Form Series rearticulates the conceptual structure of BYR Prime Elements as a unified system. Whereas Blue (Gyeok), Yellow (Hyeong), and Red (Gong) were previously presented as independent formative principles, here they are reconfigured to operate simultaneously within a single, integrated structure.
Schematic Studies
Schematic Painting is an abstract painting series that investigates the structural relationships among fundamental visual elements. Lines, forms, and colors organize the pictorial field, producing both compositional order and visual tension. Through painting, the series explores the formative principles of the Schematic Medium.
Core-Searching series
Core-Searching Drawings are early works that investigate the fundamental structure of the artist’s visual language. Through repeated variations of simple forms and signs, the drawings explore the process through which conceptual ideas transform into formal structures. These drawings mark the starting point of a visual system that later expands into painting and object-based works.
Face Series
The Face series is a body of paintings centered on the human face. Moving beyond conventional portraiture, the works explore emotional and psychological traces of human presence through color, brushstroke, composition, and expression. Each painting articulates the individuality and atmosphere of its subject through painterly means.
