WOK22 solo exhibition “W FLOW”
2023.08.26(Sat) – 2023.08.31(Thu)
YUGEN Gallery will hold WOK22's solo exhibition "W FLOW" from Saturday, August 26th to Thursday, August 31st, 2023.
A new harmony in everyday life
Flowers and birds are drawn as if clouds and octopuses are intertwined and play with the undulations. A screen with an impressive light blue line with thick borders. WOK22 is a graphic artist who develops a worldview that stirs the imagination with a very limited number of colors. This is the solo exhibition of the artist who participated in the group exhibition "Freestyle Asians" by six Asian artists, which was the opening exhibition of YUGEN Gallery in 2023.
WOK22 has loved looking at the sky since he was a child, and found peace in his mind when he imagined clouds that changed shape every moment and showed different expressions depending on the light. Especially in the season of fresh green, it is said that it is a blissful time to look at the sky while smelling the scent of the lawn.
In this exhibition, "W FLOW," we present paintings that depict the blending and harmony of the five senses in everyday life, such as the wind, the scent of flowers, and the hustle and bustle of the city. About 20 works that I used will be exhibited. I liken the waves generated by natural and man-made objects to the flow of a large river, and depict the emotions that arise as I immerse myself in it.
“Connections” Expressed with Clouds and Tentacles
Clouds as Symbols of Truth
Both have a sense of floating, and you can feel the free softness of being entwined with various spaces and things.
When I draw, I try to draw the emotions that arise in my daily life and the sensations that arise in response to the atmosphere of the venue during the live painting. <br>The tentacles are like clouds, and the clouds are like tentacles. ”
