Nanan(Minjung Kang) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, and public art, exploring the visual and emotional language of “flowers.” She studied Advertising Creation at Seoul Institute of the Arts and Arts Management at Korea Cyber University, building a career that bridges visual art, design, and popular culture. Since the early 2000s, she has introduced a working method called window painting, using glass windows throughout the city as her canvas to make painterly interventions in urban space.Her signature series, Long Long Time Flower, centers on the idea of the “unfading flower,” examining themes of time, memory, and connection. For Nanan, flowers are not merely botanical forms but emotional records—vessels of affection and shared human experience.

Her work is both painterly and sculptural, using materials such as glass, paper, fabric, and metal to explore the interplay of color, form, and surface. Each piece embodies a poetic balance between intimacy and presence, capturing the moment where a fleeting emotion is made visible. She describes her flowers as “memories that bloom again through art”— works that hold onto the ephemeral beauty of human connection.

Through collaborations with brands and public institutions, Nanan has extended her art into everyday life, believing that art should be a shared language of emotion. Her large-scale public sculpture, Long Long Time Flower (4.8 m tall), and numerous site-specific projects demonstrate her interest in creating spaces where art and daily life intersect.

Her art rejects superficial ornamentation, favoring sincerity and slowness. In an age of fast visual consumption, Nanan’s practice reclaims the aesthetics of care and continuity. She views art as a living record of emotion and time—a gesture that keeps beauty alive in memory long after it has faded from sight. Her flowers, ultimately, are art forms that bloom again and again in the hearts of those who encounter them.
