Jaeyoung Kang expresses the complex and entangled phenomena surrounding him through an intuitive visual language, relying on the flow of the subconscious.
Kang’s paintings reflect his sense of dissonance and temporal displacement in navigating societal norms and adulthood. These complexities manifest in his work through distorted expressions, leaps of imagination, and unconventional materials. His process is fast-paced and gestural, emphasizing the act of painting itself. He employs rough brushstrokes, knife-scraping, layering diverse materials, smearing paint with his hands, and using spray techniques to create drips and fluid marks.
