Especially, Marilyn Monroe's life has affected on him and become a plentiful source of inspiration. Kang has collected massive materials about her from all over the world for 20 years to create works of Marilyn Monroe. Celebrities he draws are a byword for the age and certain values. However, Marilyn drawn by Kang has various expressions revealing the inner world as the icon of the age and a person.
