This book was published by the Taiwanese gallery, Galerie Grand Siecle, showcasing Keng Hao Kang's works from 2010 - 2012. Works include paintings, photographs and objects.
'Keng Hao Kang lived in Milan, Italy for seven years, and studied painting and installation art at The Academy of Fine Arts of Brera. There, he found inspiration in conceptual art. After returning to Taiwan, he worked in the field of fashion brand design for many years. The impact of his cross-cultural experience as well as his professional background in art and design can be clearly seen in his paintings and installation works. His paintings present popular images as totems accompanied by rich, passionate colors. These totem images might just be Mickey Mouse, or graffiti comprised of various animal figures. Moreover, by using imaging techniques that consist of layering points, lines, planes, and colors, or by smoothing, dry rubbing, branding, or silk dyeing, saturated colors,the rhythm of color contrasts, and changing textures are all infused with the sense of high speed movement embodying popular culture.' - from the artist's website.
Includes an artist biography.
