"Her canvases are delicate and ethereal with ripples of color rolling gently across the surface. Through rhythmic gestures, she expresses the relentless change and renewal of the natural world"

Looking through the lens of the past, Kang perceives the world as too amorphous, too changeable (within overriding constants), to foster belief that any one form—painterly, social, governmental—could definitively displace another. Rather all bleed into each other, coexist, and reciprocate—embodying flux within a fixed and timeless framework. Although every painting by Kang testifies to the persistence of “movement” and transformational “alchemy,” she is nevertheless an artist for whom beauty remains eternally valid.

"Each is in effect a meditative moment in her own consciousness.
The total effect is of an inwardly luminous atmosphere--a space of sheer transcendence, charged with quiet energy, glorious serenity, and self-assured consciousness.
Their tension makes the inner power of Kang’s meditational abstractions transcendentally clear".
-Donald Kuspit
“The division line of the visual field evokes a sense of solid geometry in nature … also human lives on the edge with transcendence and materials. White color is, of course, traditionally associated with snow and purity, but also with a kind of erasure of troubles and grief, enabling our souls to go on with life - ‘the snow falling faintly through the universe’ that James Joyce summons in the last paragraph of ‘The dead’”
