Abstract

The article focuses on South Korean artist Hyun Nahm and his artistic response to the influence of Kazemir Malevich, particularly through his abstract sculptures. Nahm's works, characterized by exaggerated architectural forms and a blend of creation and decay, reflect his experiences growing up in the rapidly urbanizing city of Ilsan. His art explores themes of entropy and the impact of technology on the environment, utilizing materials like epoxy resin and polystyrene foam to create sculptures that embody both industrial processes and natural reactions. Recent exhibitions, including "Kawah Ojol," address broader issues such as economic uncertainty and the gig economy, emphasizing the universal qualities of art in relation to contemporary societal challenges.
