Taewon Ahn

Taewon Ahn explores the overlap between digital culture and physical reality through painting and sculpture. Working intuitively across two- and three-dimensional formats, Ahn embraces chance, improvisation, and material experimentation.

Recurring figures — especially his cat Hiro — become vehicles for examining the gap between image, memory, and perception, where the familiar often appears strange, humorous, and slightly uncanny.

The work is part of the exhibition «Balance in Motion», @p21.kr, May 14 — July 4, 2026.

1, 2, 3: Mishmash, 2026. 4, 5: Watchtower, 2026.
