INSIDE THE PUZZLING MIND OF HEO WOOK

Colour, in all its vivid, effervescent, stimulating glory, is at the centre of the work by gifted artist Heo Wook. Bold and inspirational, Heo Wook's striking pieces are a distillation of his unique vision of the splendid beauty of daily life, where experience and emotion are fractured kaleidoscopically into vibrant, abstract tableaux. His work moves beyond the inspiration of his native Korea to present his viewer with a universal concept of the beauty of the world in the form of paintings and installations.

Heo Wook has been deaf for all his life. Not being able to hear, however, is just a mere discomfort and nothing more. Heo Wook has chosen to face the outer world, the loud, the noisy, and the lively space where he can interact with others. Heo Wook's sense of the visual beauty of the world is heightened by his deficiency, and his work offers an energy that engages each of the other senses.
