Depicted: 1 of 3 illustrations from “Rite of Passage” found at www.ribbonriven.com/riteofpassage

Bio: Grant Yun is a contemporary artist currently living in Milwaukee, WI originally from San Jose, CA . Growing up in a household of artists, Yun began drawing and painting at a very young age with the help of his parents and aunt who were professional painters and sculptors. In recent years, Yun has found success in the United States and throughout the online world as a painter and digital artist. While many of his digital illustrations are concrete and often rooted in reality, Yun has developed an abstract painting technique to tackle ideas that encompass philosophical and religious theory. With his additional background in Religious Studies from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Yun hopes to use his paintings as a thesis for conversations around anthropologic and religious theory based ideas. His primary modes of painting include both acrylic and oil based paints on conventional and non-conventional canvases. 

Statement: “

Rite of Passage” is a three painting series exploring the ambiguous nature of liminal states during rites of passage. Originally introduced by ethnographer Arnold Van Gennep and later reintroduced by cultural anthropologist Victor Turner, “liminality” explains the transitional metamorphic phenomena of altering statuses of participants. Commonly used to describe transitions within a community/society i.e. baptism, death, etc., liminoid conditions often subject both individuals and entire communities. “Rite of Passage” continues the ideas developed by revolutionary cultural anthropologists by providing a narrative that liminality and liminoid states are not necessarily always easily distinguishable as with some rites of passage such as Christian baptism. Continual renewal of pre- and post-passage rites can create cyclical journeys that result in a reintegration of identical liminoid states that may appear as entirely novel rites of passage instead of resumptions of previous rites.
