Artist Profile
Jeongeun Kang, a South Korean artist, experiments with unusual combinations of new and old materials with a focus on artistic value, to resurface the origins of traditional Korean culture. Since her work is based on artifacts dating back thousands of years, she derives a lot of inspiration from artifacts displayed in museums and galleries in Korea and abroad. She claims that there are still many patterns and artifacts that are unfamiliar to her, even though she was born and raised in Korea and has lived in Korea her entire life. Through her brand VONZ, she is working towards preserving Korean traditions by integrating unfamiliar cultural heritage into everyday life.
