Joo Hyun Kang
Born in Seoul, Korea, Joo Hyun Kang received her BFA from Seoul Women’s
University. In 1992 she came to the United States to study and earned
an MFA from Pratt Institute. Kang has had numerous solo and group exhibitions
both in New York and in Korea. Kang’s work reflects her sense of
the relationship between nature and human life. She articulates her inspiration
and interest in nature through her own visual language, searching for
forms that convey energy and dynamic interaction. Her work conveys the
Eastern understanding of a humanity that can only exist in dialogue with
nature, in both the tangible and intangible realms. She represents existence
as a verb, a process of constantly evolving into new temporary states
of order.
