South Korean visual artist Naeun Kang returns to Bergen after three years with a solo exhibition at Northing Space.The exhibition presents a new body of oil paintings, graphite drawings, and watercolours. The works continue the artist's longstanding exploration of what is awkward, broken, messy, vulnerable, absurd, or hidden, and the ambivalence these states hold. The works move between reflections on psychology and interpersonal relationships, and the artist's transient or recurring fixations and daydreams.
