ABOUT THE ARTWORK

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.

Throughout my life, I have expressed myself through art. From a young age, I have been fascinated by time and speed, and as an adult, I have come to express myself through the subject of automobiles. As time has passed, my artistic focus has shifted from emphasizing the external allure of automobiles to expressing their inner strength, developing a unique style. In my current work, I depict distorted car shapes as metaphors for the modern generation’s pursuit of happiness and the self-determined paths carved out amidst intense competition. Utilizing acrylic paints, I employ a squeegee scraping technique and incorporate embroidery to create artificial straight lines, conveying notions of speed and temporal forms. This fusion of methods allows me to explore the dynamic interplay between abstraction and representation, reflecting the complexities of contemporary existence.
