Gallery Ascend is pleased to present My Mate in HK in collaboration with LKIF Gallery (South Korea), the very first solo exhibition by Kang Jun Seok in Hong Kong and outside Korea. The exhibition will feature Kang’s most recent pieces executed in 2022.

Kang Jun Seok was born in 1984 in Busan, South Korea. In 2014, he moved to Jeju Island, a beautiful southern island of Korea and discovered a landscape in reality which perfectly matched his imaginary ideals. Since then, Jeju Island has become one of his significant sources of inspiration. Kang uses the island as the groundwork of his own utopia, he reconstructs the surroundings to create a land of his own and invented an alternative world that allows the audience to liberate from the burden and frustration in real life.

Gallery address: Room B, 8/F, The Arca, 43 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang
