Hyung Koo KANG 姜亨九
Korean 1954
Kang Hyung Koo graduated from the Painting department of Chungang University in Seoul, Korea. Kang’s portraits of famous people such as Pablo Picasso, Audrey Hepburn are actually works of composite-realism rather than photo-realism. These works are created through the artist’s direct and indirect understanding of the character. Kang’s works exhibited several means of mixed medium with illusionary photo-realism, allowing the audience to interact with the artwork. Solo exhibitions included 2001 at Samsung Plaza Gallery, Bundang, Korea; 2007 “The Gaze” at Arario Gallery, Cheonan, Korea; 2010 “Face to Face”, Arario Gallery, Beijing, China; 2013 “I See You”, Youngeun Museum, Korea.
