Jang Pa has been among the most prominent figures in the so-called “feminist reboot” that occurred in the wake of the #MeToo movement in the mid-to-late 2010s. In terms of her attitude, however, her painting appears to have less to do with contemporary “net feminism” and more of an essentialist quality akin to the preceding generation’s postmodern feminism. https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-8-korean-painters-pushing-feminist-art-forward
