MINSEOK
JOURNAL
Beyond the sprint — traces that extend past the canvas.
Minseok Kang's paintings are not static images but traces left by the collision of time and emotion. The series spanning Endless Impact, Endless Force, Timeleap, Reversed Boundary, and Ice Cream carry an ongoing inquiry into speed, identity, rupture, and recovery. These notes form an archive of that journey, assembled through the curator's lens — from solo exhibitions and art fairs, through new studio works in context, to records left by press and collectors worldwide, the artist's thought and practice beyond the finished canvas are recorded in chronological order.
