Diana Korn

Diana Korn, born in 1981, is an exceptional multi-talented artist from Munich, Germany, with an international gallery presence. Her artistic work explores the whims of societal development. Diana's current series of artwork reflects on and questions the polarity of consumer behavior through a unique sculptural language.

She often plays with sociological notions of beauty and perfection in her mirror works, which are reflected in them through fractures and fun text messaging. Diana presents her artworks in a provocatively clever, tongue-in-cheek manner while simultaneously paying homage to cultural icons.

The influence of Pop Art is evident in her work; through this lens, it clearly inspired her to create her newest series of "Art Pills." In her "Art Pill" creations, Diana illuminates consumerism's alluring and positive aspects and the possible negative consequences of not recognizing its impact.

She frequently utilizes and incorporates mirrors into her artworks as a tool of selfreflection. We often see what is consciously presented as perfect while the imperfect remains hidden. Diana chooses to express her views and experiences in the world around her, a commentary on cultural references in our lives. 

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, which can be found as side effects on the Art Pills.

MIRRORS: 

In her reflective masterpieces, mirrors come to life, showcasing famous stars, pop art icons, old masters and humorous texts. 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.

“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.” 

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.
