Description
I remember growing up in a house with a small yard. During those days, insects and bugs were my companions. I felt like a king, like to a prince protecting the tiny kingdom of our yard. I have sweet memories of adorning myself with a red scarf, wielding a knife fashioned from a tree branch and a blue water bottle cap, and fearlessly proclaiming from atop a rock, 'I am the king!'"

For Minseok Kang (aka KangCar), nothing goes to waste. As a mixed-media artist based in Seoul, S. Korea, he squeezes every bit he can out of his creative process, even going so far as to save paper trimmings, paint drippings, and canvas clippings for later use. When he has enough, these scraps are then meticulously crafted into ice cream cone sculptures that seem to positively drip with the “leftover” juices of his previous works- which is mainly related to cars.
Although KangCar’s ice cream cone series is a direct byproduct of this process, they represent leisure and slow enjoyment, an irony that is not lost on an artist who gets his pseudonym from objects that go fast. Rendered and digitized forever into NFT format, KangCar’s ice cream cones will never melt, and remind us to take a second to enjoy the sweetness of life, which won’t last forever.
KangCar has exhibited and collaborated on numerous exhibitions, including the 2017 Jeonnam Moto Festival, MINI Motors, Hyundai Motors.
