Kyukun Kang depicts the narrative in the uncertainty of daily life, which consists of light and darkness. After completing a bachelor's degree in Western painting at Gachon University and a master's degree in Western painting at Sungkyunkwan University, he has continued to draw unpredictable scenarios on canvas. His work, which reflects ordinary daily life and characters, includes clear contrary between light and shadow. Through an anxious, dreamy, and melancholy atmosphere, the artist takes the audience into their inherent stories. As a beginning point for his paintings he uses people's unstable features exposed to an unpredictable future, thereby inspiring people's imagination of events that would occur after the scene. 

This is one of a series of experimental paintings that combine the keywords ‘night landscape’ and ‘anxiety’ to discuss the uneasiness that comes with the decision to become an artist. In his recent paintings, the artist addresses feelings of anxiousness resulting from personal experiences and social events. His work is based on photography and includes realistic arrangements, figures, and light. During the process, the narrative is erased, cropped, or partially enlarged, and the brushstrokes cover the canvas with unpredictable expressions. With the recurrence of questionable decisions and erasures, the original context of the piece is removed, leaving it with an unclear unease. The artist draws attention to the existential concern that exists on the periphery of contemporary human society by intertwining the act of painting with images of insignificant habits of daily life that are caused by anxiety.
