Eunju Kang is a Korean artist based in Jersey City who uses a monotype printing technique and often incorporates collage and paintings that entwine her daily life. Eunju Kang was born and raised in Daegu, Korea, and moved to California as a teenager with her mom and two sisters in the 70s. Since the early 90s, Eunju has lived and worked in NYC, painting, printmaking, and turning her doodles into a successful business with her sisters.
She has continued to explore the printmaking, often incorporating collage and detailed sketches or painting. Her work is a collection of daily encounters and subtle moments in life. Her body of works inspires what can be created from fragmented pieces. Like a puzzle, she uncovers the harmony in each day and creates a symphony within her compositions. Her work speaks on the transitory nature of life, where one happening shifts into another constantly. They work as a collection of memories, each entailing their own symbology for becoming something new.
Eunju earned fine art degrees at UC Santa Barbara and Pasadena Art Center College of Design where she graduated with distinction. She has been awarded residencies at The Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown (FAWC), the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Vermont Studio Center. She has taught at the L.A. County High School for the Arts, the ArtCenter College of Design, and the School of Visual Art in NYC. Her fine art is in private collections around the world, and her illustration work has been used in packaging and ad campaigns by Godiva Chocolate, Aveda, Simon & Schuster, and many others.
Kang's works have been exhibited at Schoolhouse Gallery in Provincetown, MA, Atlantic Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, Eye buzz Gallery in Tarrytown, NY, Art-Core Gallery in Los Angeles, CA, and Yukiko Lunday Gallery in Houston, Texas. She is a recipient of the Virginia Center for Creative Arts Fellowship in VA, Vermont Studio Center in VT, and The Fine Arts Work Center in MA.
