Soon Yul Kang combines far-eastern mysticism with her passion for bright colours in an attempt to reflect that the whole is made-up of the sum of its parts. She works with circular and rectangular shapes and creates a balancing contrast with her swirling metamorphosis of elemental colours. Acrylic paints, letters and paper are utilised to create texture, movement and depth. She painstakingly positions tiny fragments of paper producing a kind of sedimentation of layers. Her works have a Zen-like simplicity making reference to harmony and tranquility to affirm her ongoing exploration into the duality of opposing elements in nature.
