Daejeon-based artist explores mortality
Paul Fortunato, a Daejeon-based artist whose surname means “lucky” in Italian, survived a horrific episode of internal bleeding that could have ended his life. During his illness and long recovery, he had to take what he describes as a “mandatory vacation.” Forced into stillness, he contemplated his life, mortality and place within the world as a vulnerable living being. Reflecting upon his past as well as his future, he responds with humor and pathos in his solo art exhibition, Circular Time, opening May 8 at the Daejeon Gallery.
