VCUarts Qatar welcomes Artist in Residence Leekyung Kang to present an exhibition titled ‘Transition in Unknown Territory; Panic Architecture’ at the Art 29 Gallery, W Doha Hotel, on April 17.
Kang, who is originally from South Korea, focuses on pictorial elements in her work, usually in an architectural context with a linear perspective, with the gradual transformation of three-dimensional forms that challenge the perception of space.
She has participated in several residencies in the US, Middle East and South Korea and her work has been exhibited in New York, Providence, and Boston.
Kang, a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, has been navigating the structural framework and ‘bone/skeleton’ of infrastructure in urban landscapes since 2014. By exploring spatial surfaces, such as construction sites and scaffolding structures, Kang leverages architectural imagery with mixed media. She has recently been seeking to uncover the unseen space, which is present, but never fully revealed.
Kang says her work “is about creating the illusion of dimensions by capturing the unseen space that exists between the second and third dimensions in architecture through traditional mediums and digital installations.”
