WHO
Myonghi Kang

WHAT
The Korean artist (b.1947) is known for her vibrant cosmic paintings that project a powerful call to reconnect with the natural world. Taking inspiration from esteemed masters such as J.M.W. Turner, Gustave Courbet, and Paul Cézanne, while embracing the spirit of traditional Chinese painters, Kang’s art transcends the boundaries of time and culture. Her latest exhibition is a visual symphony that draws attention to the hidden splendour of Hong Kong, Taipei, and other natural landscapes around the world.

WHY
Amidst the bustling city, Kang’s canvases reveal serene streams, tranquil reservoirs, and idyllic villages that lie forgotten beneath towering buildings. Her art serves as both a testament to nature’s resilience and a tribute to its delicate existence. She skillfully employs a harmonious interplay of oil and pastels, along with delicate watercolour strokes, creating a gateway to a realm where truth and beauty converge.
