Bio
Tae Kang
Currently located in Los Angeles, California.
Primarily working with oil on canvas, my work explores themes of unlearning patriarchal standards and reconciling with the inner child. Creating surreal juxtapositions of the coquette yet violently dauntless women, I use the female form as a canvas for deeper narratives and messages about womanhood, identity, and reclaiming femininity. Moreover, with the incorporation of elements deriving from my Korean heritage, I aim to widen the perspective of art through the lens of an Korean American woman.
