SmithDavidson Gallery presents “Over/Consumption”, a new online exhibition featuring German artist Diana Korn. “Over/Consumption” explores the complex connection between consumer culture and self-identity through a striking series of mixed-media wall sculptures.
Diana Korn is known for her bold and playful visual language, which often uses humor and irony to raise deeper questions about modern society. In “Over/Consumption”, she presents large-scale capsules, each one a symbolic object reflecting on ideals, desires, and contradictions within contemporary life. These sculptural “Art Pills" serve as both commentary and critique, challenging viewers to think about what we consume, not just physically, but culturally and emotionally. In a society influenced by visual language through marketing and social media influencers, the risk of overindulging is ever-present.
Using materials such as resin and acrylics, Korn blends pop-art aesthetics with conceptual depth. Her work invites audiences to consider how identity is shaped in a world dominated by branding, beauty standards, and material ambition.
“Over/Consumption” offers an immersive digital experience of Korn’s latest body of work and precedes Diana Korn’s premier at KunstRAI Art Amsterdam, where her work will also be shown by SmithDavidson Gallery from April 30 - May 4.
