Tang Contemporary Art Hong Kong Central space is delighted to present “Ghost Town”, a solo exhibition by South Korean artist Jang Koal, known and loved for her unique painting style and artistic world. In “Ghost Town”, ghosts are not the frightening or strange entities we often think of, but coexist with us, making our daily lives more vibrant and healing us. This exhibition wittily expresses the metaphor of companionship through the theme of ghosts. The artist seeks to bridge the gap between the viewer, the work, and the artist herself.
Through the figure of a woman with gracefully flowing long hair, Jang Koal shares fragments of her life. The women in Jang Koal’s works exist in the artist’s parallel world. Surreal, mysterious, and sometimes ambiguous expressions unfold in her parallel world, where free fantasy and imagination take place. These release the artist into a space where rules and conditions are different from reality, creating a fascinating tension with the women’s lives in her works.
