			2GIL29 GALLERY presents “TeaTime” by Nanan (b. 1979), from March 18 to April 22. A lot of artists have shown works that connect life and art, but among those many artists, especially Nanan Kang thinks that the true meaning of art lies in sharing, communicating and empathizing in various ways in life. Starting as a senior reporter and illustrator in the street culture magazine <Lunchbox>, she has built her solid career as chief editor and art director in commercial art field. Nanan realized the importance of communication though ‘Window painting’ project and started the series “Long Long Time Flower”, a paper flower works with unabated love and gratitude, and has presented <Nanan’s Flower Shop>as in the form of performance art at Art Busan by 2GIL29 GALLERY in 2019.



In her solo exhibition with 2GIL29 GALLERY starting from March 18 until April 22 in 2023, a new series of devoted paintings will announce a new prelude as an artist.

The exhibition was named as “TeaTime” due to her realization of the similarities between the moments of empathizing different preferences in enjoying tea and art.
