Stray racer NO.2 Print

This work is part of the 'Stray Racer' series, depicting the rear view of a car in a dense, imaginary cactus-filled space. The artwork tells a story about direction. It is created by transferring a laser-printed image onto canvas through heat transfer, collaging only the ink, and then overlaying it with acrylic paint. Artist Kang Min-seok uses this piece to metaphorically express the human experience of losing direction and wandering. The dense cactus space symbolizes an unfamiliar and unknown world, while the lost car represents inner turmoil and anxiety. Despite bearing the remnants of the past, the car demonstrates a will to find a new direction. The green cacti contrast with the cool colors of the car, forming the focal point of the artwork. The use of acrylic paint adds depth and texture, capturing the viewer's attention with the car's vivid colors and clear forms, providing insight into the artist's inner world and emotions. This piece symbolizes the inner conflicts, wandering, and the relentless effort to find a new direction. Through this work, the artist emphasizes the human condition of instability and the will to move forward, leaving a profound impression and resonance with the viewers.
