ALEXEI GORDIN
알렉세이 골딘 (Alexei Gordin)
- ‘ 반항의 아이콘 제임스 딘과 닮은 작가 ’
1989년생인 알렉세이 골딘은 러시아 톰스크 출신으로 현재 에스토니아 탈린에서 거주하며 작업을 이어나가고 있다.
작가는 회화, 그림, 사진, 비디오, 행위 예술 등 다양한 장르의 작업을 하며 영감을 얻는다. 또한 허무주의에 기반해 매력적이지만
허영기 가득하고 엘리트주의가 팽배한 현대 미술계의 냉혹한 현실을 비판한다. 작품은 마치 모노드라마를 보는 듯한데,
작가의 심정이나 세계관이 자막, 말풍선, 타이포그래피 형태 등으로 전달된다. 2018년 작 <Mirror Mirror>, <Silent Morning>에서
말풍선으로 표현되는 고독하고 쓸쓸한 독백은 가벼운 죠크로 시작해 이내 소외되고 낙후된 빈민가와 산업환경, 지배층과 피지배층,
저속한 농담 등 다소 불편한 주제로 끌고 가지만 작가만의 방식으로 불쾌하거나 우울하지 않고 유머러스하게 풀어낸다.
