Artist: Daewon Yang
Size: 148 x 100 cm
Technique: Acrylic On Paper
A ballet is a work by the Korean artist Daewon Yang (Yangpyeong, South Korea, 1966). The key to Yang’s practice is the figure he calls Donggeulin (“Round Man”), an avatar that appears in almost all of his paintings, actively confronting emotional trauma, inequality, or evil, in search of identity and meaning. The technique he uses is interesting, as he works with hanji, a type of paper made from a bush that only grows in Korea. Bold primary colours, formal symbolism, and compositional simplicity characterise the artist’s deeply personal reflections on the human condition.
