Kun Kyung Sok is a multidisciplinary artist born in Seoul, Korea and currently working in New York. Growing up during a period of great economic development in Korea between the 1960s and 1980s, she studied political science and later moved to the UK, where she undertook MA in African Studies. She subsequently worked in several countries including Kenya and Cameroon as a community development consultant. She was very interested in achieving equal economic development so that everyone could live happily together without suffering. However, when she reached her 50s, she believed that art is the only way to transcend the pain of reality, and that artists are those who constantly challenge themselves to transcend the pain rather than succumb to it. She then moved to NYC to attend the School of Visual Arts for both BFA (2018 - 2021) and MFA (2022 - present), in Fine Arts.
