Today, in Korean modern fine arts, ‘cartoon images’ are utilized for their roles of the ‘personas’ of the artists, and as the ‘texts’ for the artistic discourses, while they play a role as a bridgehead between the public and art.
In this study, we made a study, focusing on ‘Atomouse’ of Lee Dong-gi, in order to examine how the borrowing of the ‘cartoon images’ was made in the Korean modern fine arts, and what its period context is.
‘Atomouse’ of Lee Dong-gi is the first cartoon character that appeared in Korean modern fine arts, and it has acquired a symbolism of a subculture being acknowledged as art. In this study, we tried to find out what period contexts the changes of ‘Atomouse’ have, focusing on the private exhibitions of Lee Dong-gi, such as ‘Smoking’ Exhibition (2006), ‘Bubble’ Exhibition (2008), ‘Double Vision’ Exhibition (2008), ‘The Garden of Uncertainty’ Exhibition (2012) and ‘Do Not Look Back with Angry Face’ Exhibition (2013).
Atomouse was born in the era of ‘lack of pop’ a change was attempted of it in the era of ‘excess of pop’ and its proceeding ended along with the ‘settlement of the neo-pop’. From Atomouse started from the unconsciousness of the artist, we can find the ‘identity’ of the Republic of Korea, which was being influenced by the ‘American and Japanese’ culture, as well as the symbolism of a subculture being acknowledged as art, while it emerged as an icon to represent the Korean pop art of the time. Then, as the agony and self-examination of the artist was contained in it, its use was changed into the role as a persona and it was utilized as a tool to connect the abstract and figurative worlds. In the end, the artist put an end to the proceeding of the ‘Atomouse’ at the boundaries of a persona and an alter ego, removing the creation with his own hands. In the process in which Lee Dong-gi created and changed ‘Atomouse’, the start-up and growth of the pop art are included in the history of the Korean modern fine arts, apart from a study of an artist.
‘Atomouse’ was not only painted on the walls of the subway stations in the form of public art, but it tried to closely communicate with the public through the collaboration with diverse media. It made the best use of the ‘marketability’ which a ‘cartoon character’ had at first, so that pure art was made a step closer to the public. So ‘Atomouse’ of Lee Dong-gi not only raised a subculture into the realm of high art, but lowered the door sill to high art.
Through the study we could confirm what position ‘Atomouse’ of Lee Dong-gi, which started absurdly between parody and Hommage, takes in Korean modern art of today.
