The works of Kang Hyunkyung represent nature that has never been seen before — evoking its indisputable power. Throughout her series, “Gazing”, her paintings feature rich, dark green backgrounds that spotlight animals such as foxes, lions, and cheetahs. The ominous stares of the subject at the viewer almost convey a tinge of sadness, which allude to the detrimental damage of human civilization on the habitat of wild creatures.
