Hyung Koo Kang: The Burning Gaze
documents and charts the practice of the
highly regarded artist, an artistic career that has
spanned over two decades. An interview with
the artist reveals his motivations and intentions,
while the essays in the exhibition catalogue
closely analyse the unconventional techniques
and skill that go into his paintings, which result
in his hyper-realistic portraits. Over 30 recent
paintings are featured, including new works that
have never been published before, along with
caricature sketches and clay sculptures that the
artist used in his process of mastering the art
of portraiture.
