Naeun Kang (b. Changwon, South Korea) is an artist based in Oslo. She works with painting, sculpture, installations, and ceramics. She is interested in exploring the nuances of human experiences, irrationality, daily conundrums, various coping mechanisms, the general messiness and awkwardness of life. She often draws from personal interactions, social observations, bodily experiences, eavesdropped anecdotes, popular culture and mythologies. She holds an MA in Fine Arts from the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo (KHiO) and a BA from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, Netherlands.
