Dustin Yellin

by Sharon R.








I have been interested in this kind of 3D form art for a while, and came across different artists who has been trying to experiment Thus it has been a delightful piece of news when I heard from Hearst that Dustin Yelling is opening his exhibition in Santa Monica in mid Spring.
It seems that the artist is trying to mimic the creation of life with his own hands. I had a fun time just to observe how he created the illusion of the depth. According to the artist, he used the same approach that historic artists have taken to preserve the real biological form. A static volumetric display is used to make Yellin's work appear in 3D presentation without any assistance from special glasses or viewing equipment.

Everything is isolated and presented in the most simple and direct manner. The emphasis is very obvious. The audience goes right into topic when they encountered the art piece. however, at the same times, underneath the simple message, there are more to be discovered and contemplated. So beautiful and so lonely and reminiscent. On the other side, the raw human tissues gave out shock right away. It seems that we cannot avoid the raw truth of life. The general feeling surrounded the exhibit is : it seems that each painting lives in its own transparent world and its life is frozen in time. There is a story living inside the transparent cube.
