Moonsick Gang

b.1986
Based in Seoul, KR

강문식은 1986년 서울에서 출생했으며, 현재 서울을 기반으로 활동하고 있습니다. 그는 네덜란드 암스테르담의 헤리트 리트벨트 아카데미에서 그래픽 디자인 학사 학위를, 미국 예일대학교 미술대학원에서 그래픽 디자인 석사 학위를 취득했습니다. 작가는 형태의 고정적 의미를 거부하고, 연속적인 변형과 잠재성을 품은 과정 그 자체를 작품의 중요한 본질로 삼습니다. 그는 특정한 규칙이나 규율에 얽매이지 않으면서도 비정형적이고 유동적인 연속성을 구축하며, 관람자에게 새로운 가능성을 상상할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.

Moonsick Gang, born in 1986 in Seoul, is currently based in Seoul. The artist received a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Yale University. Moonsick Gang rejects the notion of a finalized, standardized outcome, instead embracing an open structure that evolves into constantly changing forms. For Gang, the process of continuous transformation and latent potential is not only integral but forms the essence of his work, challenging fixed meanings and prioritizing the act of becoming.
