David Jang strives to transform the detritus of urban life into minimalist paintings of formal elegance, both gritty and sublime. He hopes to inspire others to discover art as a necessity to the human condition, not a luxury. David Jang’s work utilizes materials and object-making to articulate the countervailing forces inherent in the everyday; expansion and contraction, perfection and imperfection, force and balance, have and have not. This large 60 by 60" square artwork is wired and ready to hang. Jang created this original artwork using melted foam cups on canvas. The sides of the artwork are white, and it does not require framing. A certificate of authenticity and hanging hardware are included. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable global shipping is available. David Jang was born in Seoul, Korea in 1975 and received his BFA from the College of Visual Arts, St. Paul, Minnesota, where he studied sculpture and painting. He lives in Los Angeles and is represented by Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles. His artworks have been exhibited and collected worldwide. Jang’s process can be described as an exacting, fanciful, even obsessive re-appropriation of common materials—one in which he deconstructs, reprograms and reconstitutes industrial and commercial cast-offs to reveal new relationships between the object and the viewer. Most people know the media he uses in their ubiquitous forms—as a potato chip bag, a remote control, plastic jar, Styrofoam cup, coiled wire, light bulbs, et cetera—but coded also into each of these objects (and the materials from which they are composed) are its life’s instructions. David Jang describes his process: “As I examine the continuum of the objects, I begin to discover the hidden subtexts and hierarchies these objects uphold—the social orders they sustain or subvert and the relationships they facilitate or fail. I attempt to foster a self-revelatory creative process, one that is empirical yet open-ended. In this way my work results, not in forced conversation, but in quasi-scientific discovery.” EDUCATION 1999 BFA, College of Visual Arts, St. Paul, Minnesota SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2016 LAX Airport, Los Angeles, CA Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong Sandra Lee Gallery, San Francisco, CA Affordable Art Fair New York, NY Gallery on Wade, Toronto, Canada 2015 Kellogg University Art Gallery, Pomona, CA TUB Gallery, Miami, FL 2014 Locust Projects, Miami, FL Los Angeles Art Fair - Gallery 825, CA 2013 Gallery 825 (LAAA), Los Angeles, CA Sandra Lee Gallery, San Francisco, CA Downtown Art Center Gallery, Los Angeles, CA 2012 Gallery 825 (LAAA), Los Angeles, CA Palos Verdes Art Center, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 2011 Art Platform LA, Los Angeles, CA Sandra Lee Gallery, San Francisco, CA Lois Lambert Gallery, Santa Monica, CA Downtown Art Center Gallery, Los Angeles, CA Gallery OMS, Fort Lee, NJ 2010 Gallery 825 (LAAA), Los Angeles, CA Brand Library & Art Center , Glendale, CA 2009 Sandra Lee Gallery, San Francisco, CA Downtown Art Center Gallery, Los Angeles, CA IT Gallery, Los Angeles, CA 2008 FT Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA 2002 ED Gallery, Still Water, MN 2001 YY Gallery, Edina, MN 2000 Hilton Hotel, Minneapolis, MN 1999 Ford Centre Gallery, Minneapolis, MN GROUP EXHIBITIONS 2016 Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong Affordable Art Fair New York, NY Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CA 2015 Shane-show Gallery, Beijing, China Seongbuk Cultural Foundation, Seoul, Korea Glendale Central Library, Glendale, CA Cheryl Hazan Contemporary Art, New York, NY Locust Projects, Miami, FL Affordable Art Fair New York, NY Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CA Space in Arts, New York, NY LA Art Show, Los Angeles, CA 2014 Affordable Art Fair Hamburg, Germany Affordable Art Fair Amsterdam, Netherlands Art Toronto (Fine Art Fair), Canada Houston Fine Art Fair, TX Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA TUB Gallery, Miami, FL Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA Love Art Fair Toronto, Canada AAF New York, NY 2013 Affordable Art Fair Seattle, WA Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach, CA Gallery Y, Los Angeles, CA 2012 Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA Locust Projects, Miami, FL Lois Lambert Gallery, Santa Monica, CA Los Angeles Art Association, Los Angeles, CA Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA ZASK Gallery, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 2011 Municipal Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA Coastline Art...

An abstract outdoor sculpture, presenting a different shape and motion from every angle. In 1973/74 Don Frost attended Sheridan Art College followed by a decision to become a professional sculptor having just received a major commission for a large 15' tall sculpture for a new mall being built in Peterborough, Ontario. This was followed by the creation of the largest sculpture in Canada in 1983 by winning a competition for an indoor work for the Michael Starr Building in Oshawa, Ontario. Always seeking new outlets for art Don acquired an art agent in Ottawa which led to an introduction to a patron who kept Don busy creating more than 40 sculptures in a period of twenty years. Don’s work internationally was recently a commission for four large works for a garden in Club Medjulis in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Previous to this in an expansive design project by the late King Hussein for a 1.6 km wall of huge relief...
