TAEWON AHN (b.1993) explores the saturation of reality in images, transforming distorted digital creations into tangible artworks on canvases and sculptures. The artist's pet cat 'Hiro' symbolizes this process, translating the artist's subjective narrative into an objective sensation. His works for Frieze Seoul 2023 included a newly created painting and several of his sculptures from his series 'Hiro' where he contorts images of his pet cat to comment on the nature and lifespan of images in the digital sphere. Recent exhibitions include his solo show at Plan X Gallery in Milan, 2023, and group shows at WWNN, 2023, Museum of Contemporary Art Busan, 2022, and The Hole, NYC, 2022.
