A?DEN
Contemporary Artist
English
since
Aiden Lewis, known as "A?DEN," is a contemporary artist based in London. While he primarily works in sculpture, his practice also extends to painting, print, and digital art. A?DEN's work centres on the symbolism of question marks, exploring the wide range of emotions they evoke - anxiety, creativity, hope, and wonder for example. Through bold visuals and catchy titles, he aims to make an immediate impact that encourages viewers to "TH?NK". He invites audiences to interpret his work through their own experiences and aims to make his art accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or background, believing that every person has the ability to engage with his messages in their own unique way. Proficient in Korean, A?DEN has deepened his connections with Korea through friendships and his art. This skill allows him to reach a broader audience by translating his work so that Korean viewers, as well as those who don’t speak English, can fully understand his intentions. While his art is meant to be universally accessible, he makes a thoughtful effort to respect cultural differences and enhance accessibility to his art.
