YOO Hawsu (1989~)
Artist Yoo Hwasu’s works were conceived from her desire to escape from her complexities, negative thoughts, insecurities, and vacant mind to somewhere she can settle down and feel safe. The artist transitions from the reality to an unrealistic world through the act of “painting a picture.” She creates a new world by breaking away from the various parts composing her life such as repetitive life, habitual behaviors, and unreasonable situations. Her work is a representation of an imaginary world dreaming of a Utopia – a non-existent world filled with narcissistic fantasy. Her act of overlaying ‘painting’ and ‘objects (fabrics)’ is her expression of the subjective mind, fiction, and illusions which become the core of creating her virtual world. The images and materials reflecting her personal experiences and the realities have been subjectively interpreted and modified on the canvas to portray an unrealistic imaginary world. The flowers, words and children within her works are tools to signify the Utopia she envisions. The young boys and girls travelling in search of amusement and pleasure are disguises of people exhausted from the numerous schemes and perceptions forced upon in reality. The wild flowers and plants although beautiful appear artificial and lifeless. In other words, everything depicted inside the artist’s works are mere shells of objects, devoid of meaning and life.
