I was born in Seoul, Korea. Since my first solo exhibition in 2006, I have been having solo exhibition every year. I have been selected and participated at numerous artist residencies around the world, such as Swiss, the US, Germany, Spain and China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My works are initiated by my interest on the existences that do not exist. The existences which are believed not to exist but also could as well possibly exist. Working with whimsical and playful materials that kids play with, such as polymer clay, toys or balloons, I talk about stories that evolve around somewhat heavy subjects, such as life and death, pain and desire, meanings and values in fairytale like format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a world where people run forward to achieve what they desire, balloon stands as a metaphor for those precious values that one can grasp but eventually it loses all its air inside. Just as the Little Mermaid eventually turns into air bubbles and disappears, I strive to question and research what are the causes for so many precious values turning into mere air bubbles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that I choose to express the weight of these serious topics in such lightly manner is perhaps perceived to mirror the fact that the world is turning into an ever so superficial place but it actually is advocate the still remaining precious values to my audience. In a world where people seek for trendy and fashionable pleasure while breaking the moral rules without conscience, where \u00a0people seek the alternative solution in \u201cThe Floating World\u201d instead of experiencing the real joy and happiness of togetherness and sharing, the art might have become the answer for this obscene reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The imaginary creatures in a space interweave into stories about my life and this creates a paralleled time and space that differs from this reality. In this created space, I reveal my life through as if I were telling a fairytale. The existence of my imaginary creatures not only reveals the truth about aspects of the reality but also it suggests a form of an ideal world at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Daniel will exhibit the products of her stay in Deiglan August 24. &#8211; 25th.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2066\" src=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/03_Daniel-Kyong_Jellyfish-collecting-the-junk-toys_2016_Polymer-clay-acrylic-plastic-toys_35_35_65cm-Installation-of-variable-559x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"559\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/03_Daniel-Kyong_Jellyfish-collecting-the-junk-toys_2016_Polymer-clay-acrylic-plastic-toys_35_35_65cm-Installation-of-variable-559x800.jpg 559w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/03_Daniel-Kyong_Jellyfish-collecting-the-junk-toys_2016_Polymer-clay-acrylic-plastic-toys_35_35_65cm-Installation-of-variable-768x1099.jpg 768w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/03_Daniel-Kyong_Jellyfish-collecting-the-junk-toys_2016_Polymer-clay-acrylic-plastic-toys_35_35_65cm-Installation-of-variable-715x1024.jpg 715w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/03_Daniel-Kyong_Jellyfish-collecting-the-junk-toys_2016_Polymer-clay-acrylic-plastic-toys_35_35_65cm-Installation-of-variable.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel Kyong er gestalistama\u00f0ur Gilf\u00e9lagsins \u00ed \u00e1g\u00fastm\u00e1nu\u00f0i.
