Scoops of Nostalgia by KangCar

I remember one Christmas when heavy snowflakes blanketed the world outside. It was a moment filled with warmth and love as the family gathered together in one place. The living room echoed with joyful laughter as my nephews played games and we all indulged in old memories and dessert ice cream. The warmth we shared that night while eating cold ice cream and exchanging small gifts remain an enduring memory in each of our hearts. On that day, Christmas became synonymous with a special family bond.

For Minseok Kang (aka KangCar), nothing goes to waste. As a mixed-media artist based in Seoul, S. Korea, he squeezes every bit he can out of his creative process, even going so far as to save paper trimmings, paint drippings, and canvas clippings for later use. When he has enough, these scraps are then meticulously crafted into ice cream cone sculptures that seem to positively drip with the leftover juices of his previous works- which is mainly related to cars.

Although KangCars ice cream cone series is a direct byproduct of this process, they represent leisure and slow enjoyment, an irony that is not lost on an artist who gets his pseudonym from objects that go fast. Rendered and digitized forever into NFT format, KangCars ice cream cones will never melt, and remind us to take a second to enjoy the sweetness of life, which wont last forever.

KangCar has exhibited and collaborated on numerous exhibitions, including the 2017 Jeonnam Moto Festival, MINI Motors, Hyundai Motors.
