Ginok Song is a Korean-Canadian visual artist. Ginok (gin-oak) grew up in the city of Pusan, South Korea. She decided to pursue her interest in art professionally in 1992, then earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Painting at Pusan National University, South Korea in 1998. After meeting the love of her life, she moved to St. John’s, NL in 2000. Ginok continued to make art and exhibited throughout the province. Ginok is influenced by Atlantic Realism (or magic realism) and her interest is representation within the realism with a woman’s perspective. Self-knowledge and womanhood deeply concerned Ginok, so she further explored limits and possibilities of women’s representation while pursuing a Masters of Philosophy in Humanities at Memorial University. Ginok persists in her effort to visualize identity, gender ambiguity and difference through the mediums of painting, mural and printmaking. Her works appear in numerous private and public collections in Canada, UK and Korea. Ginok resides and works in Petty Harbour, NL.
