In Michael Hyun Gu Kang’s painting “We Are You

In Michael Hyun Gu Kang’s painting “We Are Your Friends” (2023), three political figures with forked tails and horns stand at a podium, while an eclipse covers the sun. Kang notes that early Christians perceived eclipses as signs from God, foretelling important events both good and bad. Kang inserts elements of his Korean heritage into the scene, collaging hanbok fabric in the upper right corner, and replacing the eagle on the podium with a magpie, Korea’s national bird. With these elements, the painting’s commentary expands beyond US politics to all figures in power, whose actions have real consequences on our shared world.
