Hwasu Yoo

Graduated from the College of Arts at Dankook University and the Graduate School of Painting at Kookmin University. Hwasu Yoo conceived her "Unrealistic Space" series from the anxiety and desire for stability stemming from repetitive daily life, habitual actions, and irrational situations. She transforms feelings and images based on experiences or the real world into collages on square or circular canvases, incorporating oil paint and fabric objects to create an unrealistic "virtual world." The artworks prominently feature flowers, horses, and children, with the children symbolizing freedom as they collect words from floating horses that travel for play. The horses disguise themselves within their surroundings, avoiding capture. Through the acts of "drawing" and adding "fabric objects," the artist creates imaginative spaces where exhausted figures, masked as boys and girls, seek playfulness, reflecting her unique narrative towards a utopia.
