디미트리스 파파이오아누 작품에 나타난 그로테스크 신체 조형성 연구

Abstract

This study focus on the formativeness of the grotesque body in Dimitris Papaioannou's work and examines how the physical deformation and distortion, especially "embarrassing bizarre" that constantly appearing in his works develop in aesthetic categories. To this end, I examined his artistic perspective and analyzed four works in terms of randomly separating and combining body. Although the non-realistic body transformation in the works seems to represent the unreal world of fantasy, it is used as a means to make people through the shock of strangeness. It is being used as a device to expose conflicts arising from the current situation and to express doubts about the identity of contemporary people through contradictory contrast. This study was intended to serve as a stepping stone for the attention and theoretical discussion of the formativeness of grotesque body through the interpretation of Dimitris Papaioannou's works.
