Yang Yooyun

Yang Yooyun remembers moments of things that have been forgotten for a long time and casually thrown away coming back like lightning. What we perceive is a very small part of the world and reality. In an era where the boundaries between life and death have become blurred, the image collects and recalls the pieces of reality where anxiety is commonplace, in a manner of putting together a puzzle. The artist's painting is a record of moments of elaborately portraying the figures and objects for a long period of time. Paintings deal with elusive parts of the world that are not dealt with by everyday life and worldly desires. The figure in the picture is either sleeping or falling into a certain state. Also, the works do not portray the whole body or the whole object - it is always only a specific part of the person or the thing that is captured. Parts and surfaces become objects that are deep, heavy, and even sublime. It gives a huge sense of presence. No, actually, it reveals the original existence of the object.
