KANG Yo-bae

Painting a ‘painting’ might still be an act of angling an obscure mind. For that sort of angling, a state of calmness and a bait would be required. Baits are inspirational subject matters from the outside world but the bait Is not the target. And sooner or later, the mind will be naturally reflected through how the bait Is handled, reeled in and cooked.
