Lives and works in Berlin
Jaeyeol Han, born in 1983, is a contemporary South Korean artist who is esteemed for his thought-provoking artwork that investigates themes of human identity, anonymity, and the human experience within the context of disaster and resilience. His artistic journey began after participating in relief efforts during his military service in Haiti, following the 2010 earthquake. Han's distinctive style, characterized by the removal of defining facial features and social identifiers, encourages viewers to ponder their role in society and the broader human experience. Inspired by Goethe's Theory of Colors, Han has presented his unique artistic vision through numerous exhibitions.
Jaeyeol Han ist ein zeitgenössischer südkoreanischer Künstler, der 1983 geboren wurde. Er ist bekannt für seine nachdenklich stimmenden Kunstwerke, die sich mit Themen wie menschlicher Identität, Anonymität und menschlicher Erfahrung im Zusammenhang mit Katastrophen und Widerstandsfähigkeit beschäftigen. Seine künstlerische Laufbahn begann, als er während seines Militärdienstes in Haiti nach dem Erdbeben von 2010 an Hilfsaktionen teilnahm. Der unverwechselbare Stil von Han, der das Entfernen von Gesichtszügen und sozialen Identifikationsmerkmalen beinhaltet, lädt den Betrachter ein, über seine Position in der Gesellschaft und die menschliche Erfahrung im Allgemeinen nachzudenken. Inspiriert von Goethes Farbenlehre hat Han zahlreiche Ausstellungen veranstaltet, auf denen er seine einzigartige künstlerische Vision präsentierte.
