Kang Cheolgyu's Solo Exhibition 《 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦》
Cheolgyu Kang depicts an imaginary world where reality and fiction intersect, drawing from his autobiographical experiences. His work projects his thoughts, emotions, and desires onto specific subjects or situations, reconstructing personal narratives through a symbolic visual language. In this exhibition, Kang explores themes of existential anxiety, the desire for life, and the psychological process of overcoming these tensions by employing the contrasting motifs of the "stranger" and the "predator." The recurring half-human, half-beast figures scattered throughout his works symbolize a fragmented self, repflecting his current state and metaphorically expressing inner conflict and introspection.
