Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a watercolor painting of a human skull against a plain white backdrop, framed in a simple gray frame. The distinctive style of the skull, with its exaggerated features and highlighted textures, suggests an expressionist or surrealist approach. Beneath the framed painting, a vibrant red-and-yellow flame-like shape is mounted, adding a dynamic and unsettling element to the overall composition. This juxtaposition of the somber, contemplative skull and the lively, almost ominous flame-like form reflects the artist's intention to explore themes of mortality, the human condition, and the fragility of existence. ...

Artist

Paul Kajander

B.1980

Paul Kajander's artistic practice spans a diverse array of mediums including video, sculpture, installation, photography, sound, performance, and drawing. For Kajander, video and sound emerge as essential mediums for examining the omnipresent impact of technology on contemporary existence. Despite living in Canada, Kajander maintains a strong connection to Seoul, a city he called home from 2011. His frequent excursions to Euljiro Street, renowned for its abundance of light stores and displays, fed his fascination and creative inspiration, anchoring his experiences in Korea as a rich hub for artistic thought. Beyond his own practice, Kajander partners with HaeAhn Woo Kwon to form HaeAhn Paul Kwon Kajander, a collaborative artistic venture that deliberately intertwines their personal and familial names, thereby challenging traditional categorizations of gender, ethnicity, and patriarchal lineage. This name fusion epitomizes their shared commitment to disrupting conventional identification constructs, reflecting the depth and nuance of their collaborative efforts. ...
