Eddie Kang is an artist that creates fictional space drawn from his memories and imagination. Through symbolic icons, Kang reveals his perspective on urban society and expresses the lonesome emotions people feel amid busy crowds. Kang has a anxious outlook on the city life, but seeks to find positive meaning behind them. Preoccupied by technology and racing to get ahead in the capitalist economy, people are prone to lose their identities in the systematized modern culture. Kang's robots are symbolic of the negative sides of a city. While his signature character, “Loveless” the white dog symbolizes love, hope, and audacity. With the characters he creates, Eddie paints the ‘purity of the heart’ to comfort people living in the cities.
Kang’s works have been exhibited at different museums and art galleries, including 54th Venice Biennale, Gwangju Design Biennale 2019 (Gwangju), Sea World Culture and Arts Center (Shenzhen), Luohu Art Museum (Shenzhen), MOCA Shanghai (Shanghai), Today Art Museum (Beijing), Times Square (Hong Kong), Paradise Zip (Seoul), Gana Art (Seoul/LA), Sandra Gering Inc. (New York), Unsealed Contemporary (Tokyo), and Metaphysical Art Gallery (Taipei).
As for his public collections and collaborations, Kang’s works exist in different institutions and brands, such as the Asia Society Hong Kong, Wooyang Museum of Contemporary Art (Gyeongju), Kolon FnC, and Amore. He also collaborates with NBA Kore, MCM, Tribeca Film Festival, LG, etc.
Kang’s artworks are well-known and collected by celebrities across the world. Famous artists such as Jay Chou, JJ Lin, BTS member j-hope, famous Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Yo-won, and Yuri from Girls’ Generation also acquired Kang’s artworks.

Different ways of looking at competition：

If someone takes competitions too seriously, they could develop into unpleasant conflicts. But if someone learns how to see brighter and healthier sides of competitions, they can become fun and end up creating win-win situations.
