About The Artwork

Still life in Vanitas are usually tools for expressing the vanity of life, not the person itself. But can the human body, which is dead and disintegrated, become an object? The human body that reveals the ribs may look like a fancy bird cage (coincidentally, a bird-themed figure is included in the series). This vast human body without life will probably be the most direct image of the meaning of vanitas. Or, due to the nature of still-life that functions as recording and archiving, it may also function to record the death of a particular person. 바니타스에서 다루는 정물들은 보통 삶의 덧없음을 표현하기 위한 도구들이지, 사람 그 자체가 정물이 되지는 않는다. 그러나 죽고 해체되어 생기 없이 온전한 물질이 된 인체는 정물이 될 수 있지 않을까? 갈비뼈를 드러낸 인체는 마치 장식이 화려한 새장과 같이 보이기도 한다(공교롭게도 새를 주제로 한 그림이 시리즈에 포함되어있다). 생명이 없는 이 거대한 인체는 아마도 바니타스의 의미를 가장 직접적으로 전달하는 이미지가 될 것이다. 혹은, 기록과 보관의 기능을 하는 정물화의 특성상, 특정 인물의 죽음을 기록하는 기능을 할 수도 있다.

Dabin Lee is an artist based in Seoul. Her main themes are emotions that people commonly experience but are not easily revealed, such as depression, fear and anxiety. As a child, Dabin explored the inner dark parts of her depression and used art as a means of expressing and resolving emotions. Mostly her works are inspired by portrait photography, medieval religious paintings, literature, and expressed using rough and thick textures, spilling and spreading accidental effects. And her paintings are expanding the range of expression to media such as body painting, photographs, videos and performances. The beginning of Dabin’s work was to relieve personal feelings. But as her work expanded, she realized that it was contraindicated to reveal dark emotions in Korean society. Since then, her goal has been to let viewers see their dark feelings in her works and to face them.
