“ENVY”
116 X 90 CM
ACRYLIC & INTERFERENCE & SCREEN INK ON CANVAS
2009 CASPER KANG
The iconic, and perhaps single significant Korean animation character, “둘리” (DOOLY), first aired on KBS in 1987. Portrayed here as a golden “idol” frozen in a perpetual state of envy towards all. I’m almost absolutely positive that Dooly is the most recognized (historically, and throughout a larger generational audience than the newer, contemporary characters) within Korea, but the world is a big place. . .there are bigger fish and sharks and giant squids with eyes the size of dinner plates. Poor Dooly, you’re so unknown outside of your motherland, and you were quite crudely drawn even for back then. . .but still you’re the biggest barracuda in your lake(?), so just chill, because we love you.
