Abstract: We give a short proof of the following theorem of Sang-hyun Kim: if $A(Gamma)$ is a right-angled Artin group with defining graph $Gamma$, then $A(Gamma)$ contains a hyperbolic surface subgroup if $Gamma$ contains an induced subgraph $$ for some $ngeq5$, where $$ denotes the complement graph of an $n$-cycle. Furthermore, we give a new proof of Kim's co-contraction theorem.
