“In D La Her paintings, the perspective is that one’s place in the world is not static but changes over time and space. She blends ideas of identity, science, and metaphysics to create captivating scenes challenging visual hierarchies. Through her work, she embodies anatomical architecture and internalized identity, exploring cultural and familial connections to costume and culture.’“
– Paola Gallio, curator
D La Her is an artist based in Paris, born in 1991 in South Korea, a country that experienced a profound transformation from rural, traditional roots to sudden urbanization amid rapid economic growth. This societal shift required people to adapt quickly to a new way of life, creating a complex landscape of identity and cultural dislocation, which she explores in her work interrogating what defines individuals and their sense of self in the face of such monumental changes.
She studied cinema before moving to France to study fine art. She holds both a BFA and an MBA from France and pursued further studies in the state of New York during her Master’s degree in fine art. She is currently an artist-in-residence at 59 Rivoli in Paris following a residency program at Tangent Projects in Barcelona.
