Woo Young Hee
"My work is based on the philosophical sense of life and death."
Like a steady river flowing silently in the moonlight, YoungHee Woo’s mysterious oil paintings evoke contemplation and appreciation of the natural and the surreal.
Her dreamlike artistic creations stem from her own contemplative eye and philosophical musings on life and death. Painting with deep hues and converging the spiritual and human worlds allows Ms. Woo to explore melancholic ideals while maintaining an appreciation of life. She views life and death not as clashing forces but as interwoven realities where one serves as an extension of the other. Ms. Woo strives to convey that not all that exists will last, and her sibylline art inspires viewers to appreciate life’s nobility and the eventual finality of all things.

"Automatisms and Subconscious"
Welcome to the eighth session, "Automatisms and Subconscious", a journey into the shadowy realm of the instinctive and the intuitive. The subconscious mind, with its mysterious capabilities, takes center stage in this collection, giving birth to an array of symbolic, rudimentary forms that echo the uncensored creative powers at play beneath our cognizant thoughts. Their pieces embody the unexpected, the uncalculated, often surprising the viewer with their unpredictable spontaneity. The art, charged with cryptic symbols and patterns, invites us to venture into the labyrinthine realms of our innermost thoughts, encouraging a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious. The raw emotionality that underlies their work is a testament to the profound depths of the unconscious mind. Their creations are akin to snapshots of a dream, frozen yet forever in flux. Their art is born out of a synergy between their conscious intent and the unforeseen revelations of their subconscious. "Automatisms and Subconscious" pays homage to the creative powers of the subconscious mind, inviting you to journey into a realm where rationality dissolves into instinct and where artistry is guided by the automatic and the unforeseen. This is not just an exhibition, but a journey into the abstract wilderness of our innermost selves.

While sleep gusts dumpishly like a postponed act,
mimosa snuggles down under the bedclothes of frontier,
mumbling a secret prayer,
locking up to assure
fate can not come in
