""It's inevitable that I still think of my dad," Ahn says, adding that the show at Document more broadly deals with impermanence."
""I consider my objects, my artworks, as living things... born rather than made," he says. Often, he adds, the unintended results of his experiments are what propel his work forwards."
Dabin Ahn's first solo show at Document in Chicago showcases new paintings that explore themes of memory, time, and grief. These works were created during the last weeks of his father's life, featuring delicate still lifes of broken Korean ceramics and other objects. Ahn's experimentation with materials has led to atmospheric compositions, including the introduction of video elements. His artistic process is deeply personal, reflecting on impermanence and the living nature of his artworks, which he views as born rather than made.
