Diana Korn b. 1981 is an emerging German artist with international gallery presence. Her artistic work explores the ambivalence of societal development. Her current cycle of artwork reflects on and questions the polarity of our consumption behavior through a unique sculptural language. She often plays with societal notions of beauty and perfection, which is reflected in her mirror works through fractures. She often presents her artworks in a provocative, ambiguous and simultaneously playful manner. The influence of Pop Art plays a significant role in her work, with mirrors being one of the materials frequently used.
Diana: "Through my works, I aim to inspire reflection and contemplation, encouraging viewers to engage with the fundamental questions of our existence."
ART PILLS:
Diana Korn's "Art Pill" works engage with societal development. She reflects on and questions our consumption behavior, which is characterized by contradictions and opposites. While lifestyle choices, advancements, and innovations enrich and advance our lives on one hand, they also distract us from the truly significant aspects of life on the other. In her "Art Pill" creations, Diana illuminates both the alluring and positive aspects of consumption as well as the often-suppressed negative consequences.o
MIRRORS:
In her reflective masterpieces, mirrors come to life, showcasing famous stars, pop art icons and old masters. She sculpts not just with materials, but with the very essence of light and shadow. Through the manipulation of angles and perspectives, she draws a new reality from the depths of the mirror. She breaks and shatters motifs to transfer their original perfection into the imperfect. Diana explains: “We often see only what is consciously presented as perfect, while the imperfect remains hidden. Every person, every masterpiece, or every icon has a story that is either unknown to us or not shown. These hidden truths can significantly alter our self-image and how we perceive others. Through my works, I aim to bring attention to these untold truths so that we do not pursue false ideals.”
An important and critical aspect of her work is how we perceive ourselves and others.
Her work seamlessly fuses elements of modern architecture and design into the realm of light reflection sculpture, always striking a balance between straightforwardness and creative expressiveness.
