Kang Seoktae

He has participated in 21 solo exhibitions and over 200 group exhibitions. His publications include Speaking to the Little Prince and A Cultural Flower Bloomed on a Tree. He received a special selection at the 22nd Joongang Fine Arts Competition and a special award at the Korea-Germany Art Association Competition. His works are held in notable collections including Art Bank (MMCA), the French Cultural Center in Korea, Korea National University of Arts, Namhae County Office, the Purme Foundation, Suncheon Miracle Library, Nexon Children's Rehabilitation Hospital, and Changwon Hanmaeum Hospital.
