Casper Kang's works are based on Korean traditional folk paintings, but he ventured to remove the element of tradition in it and re-arranges as an objective form. His personal objective view of the image is free from forming a work elements and meaning of the work. Casper Kang's own expression of drawing city and continuous lines create 'space'. and it creates a link between the visual images and artwork. He applied for the quality of the picture to the standards adamant, and this creates a sense of depth to the detail and sophistication in the work.
