Seo You Yeong

For Seo You Yeong, the house is a hideout that reflects the life of the person living in it — each house in her paintings is an individual with its own values and ego. Humans live in relationships that may run smoothly or become tangled by differing values, and she renders these varied relations through the colors and arrangements of houses.

The matière built up from paper and paint on canvas stands for the demanding society we inhabit; ropes make visible the entangled conflicts between us, while gradations of color express social beings who influence, sympathize and communicate with one another.
