About Kaffee Kang
Before the written language was developed, early humans made cave drawings and ancient Egyptians had hieroglyphics. These civilizations used images to tell the stories of their lives. This use of the visual narrative has continued through the ages, from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel to Diego Rivera’s murals to Norman Rockwell’s illustrations. It is in this tradition that I pursue my painting practice. I am a visual storyteller. By carefully curating the objects and composing the painting, still lifes can tell stories and convey ideas.
