She has been in various group exhibitions at home and abroad since 2005. Starting with the solo show <em>\u2018Objet O\u2019<\/em> at the Lux gallery in 2011, followed by the second <em>\u2018One Way\u2019<\/em>, a display featuring travel photography in 2012. She had the third solo show <em>\u2018It\u2019s Pouring\u2019<\/em> as a selected artist at the DOS gallery in 2014. Some private collectors have had her works since 2006.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"justify\"><p>Okjoo graduated from Seoul Arts High School and received her fine art and art history degrees from Ewha Womans University. As an undergraduate, she did three-dimensional works. Since graduate school, she has mainly been exploring photography. She has been grafting the technology onto her existing works since 2017 and developing a new work.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"justify\"><p>Kang likes using ordinary objects as the material for her artwork. She thinks that they tell us something about fundamental things. They are about time, existence and relationships with others largely. The things are often accompanied by old questions. Okjoo reads books and watches movies a lot of the time, and tries to approach her own answers. She likes Henri Matisse also. Especially, she loves his paper cut-out works in his later years. Kang hopes that she is able to manage her life as an artist with passion like Matisse.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uac15\uc625\uc8fc\ub294 \uc11c\uc6b8 \uc791\uc5c5\uc2e4\uc744 \uc911\uc2ec\uc73c\ub85c \uc0dd\ud65c\ud558\ub294 \uc2dc\uac01\uc608\uc220 \uc791\uac00\uc774\ub2e4. \uadf8\ub294 2005\ub144 \uc138\uc885\ubb38\ud654\ud68c\uad00 \uc5d0\uc11c\uc758 <em>\u2018\uc9c0\uc131\uacfc<\/em> <em>\uac10\uc131<\/em>\u5c55\u2019\uc744 \uc2dc\uc791\uc73c\ub85c \uad6d\ub0b4\uc678 \uadf8\ub8f9\uc804\uc2dc\ub97c \uac00\uc84c\ub2e4. 2011\ub144 \uac24\ub7ec\ub9ac\ub8e9\uc2a4\uc5d0\uc11c\uc758 \uac1c\uc778\uc804<em> \u2018Objet O <\/em>\u5c55\u2019\uc744 \ucc98\uc74c\uc73c\ub85c, 2012\ub144\uc5d0\ub294 \uc2a4\ud398\uc778 \uc5ec\ud589\uc0ac\uc9c4\uc744 \ub2f4\uc740 <em>\u2018One Way <\/em>\u5c55\u2019, 2014\ub144\uc5d0\ub294 \uac24\ub7ec\ub9ac\ub3c4\uc2a4 \uacf5\ubaa8\uc791\uac00\ub85c \uc120\uc815\ub418\uc5b4 <em>\u2018It\u2019s Pouring <\/em>\u5c55\u2019\uc73c\ub85c \uc138\ubc88\uc9f8 \uac1c\uc778\uc804\uc744 \uc5f4\uc5c8\ub2e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uadf8\ub294 \uc11c\uc6b8\uc608\uc220\uace0\ub4f1\ud559\uad50\ub97c \uac70\uccd0 \uc774\ud654\uc5ec\uc790\ub300\ud559\uad50 \ubbf8\uc220\ud559\ubd80 \uc870\uc18c\uc804\uacf5\uacfc \ubbf8\uc220\uc0ac, \ud68c\ud654\ud310\ud654 \ub300\ud559\uc6d0\uc744 \uc878\uc5c5\ud588\ub2e4. \ud559\ubd80\uc5d0\uc11c\ub294 \uc785\uccb4 \uc791\uc5c5\uc744, \ub300\ud559\uc6d0 \uc774\ud6c4\ubd80\ud130\ub294 \uc0ac\uc9c4 \uc791\uc5c5\uc744 \uc8fc\ub85c \uc9c4\ud589\ud574\uc654\ub2e4. 2017\ub144\ubd80\ud130\ub294 \uae30\uc874\uc758 \uc791\uc5c5\uacfc \ud14c\ud06c\ub180\ub85c\uc9c0\uc640\uc758 \uc811\ubaa9\uc744 \uaf80\ud558\uace0 \ud544\uc694\ud55c \uae30\uc220\uc801\uc778 \ubd80\ubd84\uc744 \ubc30\uc6cc\ub098\uac00\uba74\uc11c \uc0c8 \uc791\uc5c5\uc744 \uc804\uac1c\ud558\uace0 \uc788\ub2e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\uac15\uc625\uc8fc\ub294 \uc8fc\ub85c \uc77c\uc0c1\uc758 \uc0ac\ubb3c\uc744 \uc18c\uc7ac\ub85c \uc791\uc5c5\ud558\ub294 \uac83\uc744 \uc88b\uc544\ud55c\ub2e4. \uadf8\uac83\ub4e4\ub85c \uadfc\ubcf8\uc801\uc778 \uc774\uc57c\uae30\ub97c \ud558\uace0 \uc2f6\uc5b4\ud55c\ub2e4. \uadf8\uac83\uc740 \ud06c\uac8c \uc2dc\uac04, \uc874\uc7ac, \ud0c0\uc778\ub4e4\uacfc\uc758 \uad00\uacc4\uc5d0 \ub300\ud55c \uac83\ub4e4\uc774\ub2e4. \uc774\ub7f0 \uc774\uc57c\uae30\ub4e4\uc740 \uc885\uc885 \uc624\ub798\ub41c \uc9c8\ubb38\uc744 \ud558\uac8c \ud55c\ub2e4. \uadf8\ub798\uc11c \uadf8\ub294 \ub9ce\uc740 \uc2dc\uac04 \ucc45\uc744 \uc77d\uace0 \uc601\ud654\ub97c \ubcf4\uba70 \ub098\ub984\uc758 \ub2f5\uc5d0 \uc811\uadfc\ud558\ub824\uace0 \ub178\ub825\ud55c\ub2e4. \ub610 \uadf8\ub294 \uc559\ub9ac \ub9c8\ud2f0\uc2a4\ub97c \uc88b\uc544\ud55c\ub2e4. \ud2b9\ud788 \uadf8\uc758 \ub9cc\ub144\uc758 \uac00\uc704\ub85c \ud55c \ub4dc\ub85c\uc789 \uc791\uc5c5\uc744 \uc88b\uc544\ud55c\ub2e4. \uadf8\ub294 \ub9c8\ud2f0\uc2a4\ucc98\ub7fc \uc5f4\uc815\uc73c\ub85c \uc791\uac00\ub85c\uc11c\uc758 \uc0b6\uc744 \uc774\uc5b4\ub098\uac08 \uc218 \uc788\uae38 \ud76c\ub9dd\ud55c\ub2e4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okjoo Kang is a visual artist based in Seoul, Korea.
