About the artist: Eunkang Koh

“My project, Image of Food with #, explores trends in food images in our culture — beautiful

images of food people post on various social media outlets. This project shows how images of food have become an important and interesting subject matter in the contemporary world, where food images become more popular than actual food. This new phenomenon has affected how I, as an artist, see food we eat and images of food. People enjoy images of food on social media because they reveal not just what we eat from day to day, but also where we eat, our social classes, our tastes, what gives us pleasure, and what we think gives others pleasure. I use watercolor/gouache painting and drawing as well as printmaking and three-dimensional sculptures to create images of food to explore these trends of images of food in the contemporary culture.”

Eunkang Koh received her B.F.A. from Hong-Ik University in Seoul, South Korea, and an M.F.A. from California State University, Long Beach. She works in various media: printmaking, book art, drawing, and installation to address social phenomena in our contemporary consumerist society. She has had significant solo exhibitions in Alberta, Canada; and La Taller in Bilbao, Spain; and she has participated in national and international group exhibitions in Barcelona, Spain; Seoul, South Korea; Changsha, China; and New York, NY. She is an associate professor of printmaking and drawing in the art department at the University of Nevada, Reno.
