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. In addition, Casper Kang's work receives more attention because it takes very long time and a hard process of creating the work.


캐스퍼 강의 작품은 한국의 전통회화인 민화에 기반을 두고 있지만, 그는 그것에서 전통의 요소를 과감히 제거하고 객관적인 형태로서 재배열한다. 이미지들에 대한 그의 지극히 객관적인 시각은 작품을 이루는 요소와 의미들로부터 자유롭다. 작가만의 독특한 도식적 표현방법은 연속적인 선과 이미지들로 구성되어 변형된 ‘공간’을 만들며, 동시에 시각적 이미지와 작품의 연계성을 만들어 낸다. 그는 그림의 질에 대해 완강한 기준을 적용하는데, 섬세함과 정교함으로 작품에 깊이감을 조성한다. 이와 더불어, 오랜 시간과 힘든 과정을 거쳐 탄생되는 그의 작품에 담긴 시간성은 그의 작품 이미지들을 더욱 주목 받게 한다.
