Wook Heo
South Korean painter manages to take ‘traditional’ Pop Art ideas and re-invigorate them. Above is a collection of his works - the last example is part of an exhibition currently being shown in London at Mokspace:
Wook Heo disassembles and reassembles painted media to create works that are neither painting nor relief. Through the reconstruction process his works form layers and colour fields that alter the meaning of his subject matter – subject matter that embraces cars, interiors, elements of consumer society and eroticised imagery of men and women.
The artist has indicated an interest in showing the connective point between convergence and divergence in cultural life and identity in contemporary civilization.More info about the Mokspace exhibition can be found here (ends on the 7th February - next Tuesday)
