Artist Kang Hoon transforms negative energies embedded within the unconscious into creative forces through a distinctive process of constructing his own mythology. His practice is grounded in a fundamental question: What is the social role of the artist? From this inquiry, Kang develops works that aim to provide viewers with creative stimuli—encouraging the sublimation of stress, anxiety, and emotional tension experienced by isolated individuals into constructive forms of expression.
Kang’s works emerge from spontaneous and eruptive images rising from the unconscious. Rather than controlling or refining these impulses, he captures and fixes them into concrete visual forms, allowing raw inner energies to surface directly within the work. This method operates through a mythological mechanism that semiotizes the collective unconscious, translating shared psychological states into symbolic language.
By transforming inner turbulence into visual narratives, Kang invites viewers into an expanded dimension of imagination. His works do not offer fixed meanings, but instead activate new modes of creative inspiration—opening pathways for emotional release, reflection, and renewal.
