SOUTH KOREA---The lift from death to spirit in Michelangelo's "Pieta" sculpture comes into full view in the hands of media artist
Lee Lee-nam. The
Korea Herald Business describes his work as reinterpreting "light symbolizing Christ as a 'savior' that restores humanism lost in the confused digital world." The dead body of Christ lifts up from the open hands of his mother in one digital painting, and in another Jesus walks bearing a television instead of cross. This is Lee's latest series of animated
digital re-imaginings currently on display at
Gana Art Center in Pyeongchang-dong, Seoul.
