Exhibition summary

In 'Prototypur 01', artist Korkimon explores the human form through fluid, distorted drawings that capture complex emotions like loneliness and self-criticism. The exhibition functions as a personal study of identity and transformation, reflecting the artist's experiences with displacement and the struggle to find one's place.

Curatorial context

The works in 'Prototypur 01' serve as a personal investigation into identity, roles, and the process of transformation. Korkimon uses the pencil as a primary tool to let the flow of the creative process dictate the form, often leading to distorted or dissolved figures that appear in constant motion. These drawings act as a reflection on the artist's earlier experiences of moving between countries, capturing the constant physical and emotional state of displacement and the search for belonging. These pieces represent a long process of experimentation, featuring sketches, prototypes, and raw executions from the artist's practice. Visible corrections and erasures within the works serve as metaphors for growth and the evolution of the artist’s own narrative. What once might have been open expressions of seeking now stand as a cohesive personal record of existence and the creative process during a specific period in the artist's life.

Admission and ticket notes

The exhibition is on view at Listval Gallery. No specific booking is required for entry; visitors are encouraged to visit the gallery during opening hours for viewing and inquiries regarding the available works.
