Collection: Kang Jun Seok

Kang Jun Seok, born in 1984 in Busan, South Korea, relocated to Jeju Island in 2014, where he found landscapes that resonated with his imaginative visions. This picturesque island quickly became his main source of inspiration, serving as the foundation for his personal utopia. In his artwork, Kang reconstructs these surroundings to create an alternative world that offers viewers an escape from everyday stresses. His painting style features calm tones and soft brushstrokes, imparting a dreamlike quality and introducing mysterious, childlike animal characters. These characters, symbols of childhood, provoke reflections on life's values and the contrast between past and present experiences. Kang's work elegantly addresses the quest for inner peace amidst the harsh realities of life.
