Artnet | Who Were the Stars of Seoul? Here Are 6 Breakout Artists Who Captivated Collectors at the Frieze and Kiaf Fairs

Darma’s eye-catching collage works look like flat screen televisions from afar, but they are actually very tactile and manually worked pieces, incorporating woventextile, cut vinyl, and scratched or painted on found images. The found imagery isharvested from the web by searching for representations of Southeast Asian culture,often constructed from an East to West-facing lens—from historical landscapes orportraits that were sent back to the West to gain investment for the country through to contemporary tourism marketing. Darma reappropriates these images (literally stealing them from American stock image corporations), and deploys a post-colonial gaze to ask instead what Southeast Asian culture looks like to itself.
