” I often paint girlfriends of mine, artists or writers who have an inherent ferocity that they must let out – girls who shouldn’t leave the house like that… what would people think?

Junkhouse‘s (Su Young So) works are based on her concept of Organicism. In a nutshell, new lifeforms are born through the artist’s eyes and imaginations on inorganic objects. These inorganic objects may be something that the artist doodled, expressing the rigid objects such as houses, buildings, images, or keywords within hers unconsciousness, processed into the [...]
