Ever wondered what it would be like if you could put stickers all over your eyes? Of course you haven\u2019t, but Tokyo-based artist Yunbomu<\/a> has gone ahead and shown you what that looks like anyways. In these unique works, Cmd+C and Cmd+V are Yunbomu\u2019s greatest tools. Created within the digital environment of Photoshop and Illustrator, Yunbomu is captivated by the expressive freedom that these applications\u2019 tools can offer, with the flexibility to immediately undo actions or multiply them. Employing a layering technique, playing with the \u201csmooth, inorganic textures of digital art\u201d, Yunbomu experiments with how this aesthetic can coexist with the organic, raw textures found in photography \u2013 and in the process, recreates life swarmed by colourful eye floaters.<\/a><\/p>\n

The results are strange daydreams, with mesmerising shapes and glyphs cluttering every image \u2013 some artworks look like a certain asset has been spammed across photographic canvases, whereas others incorporate careful placements of playful characters drawn in digital paint. \u201cMy primary theme is the \u2018suggestive dreams\u2019 I experience daily \u2013 those vivid dreams where the line between good and bad is blurred,\u201d says Yunbomu. \u201cIn Korea, there is a superstition that \u2018selling\u2019 (sharing) a bad dream to others makes it lose its power; I find a similar healing through my art by sublimating my dreams into my work.\u201d Interestingly, Yunbomu\u2019s wingding-opuses feel like the visual representation of Kieran Hebden\u2019s (also known as Four Tet) intriguing electronic project \u28ce\u2847\ua27a\u10da\u0f3d\u0b87\u2022\u031b)\u0f80\u25de \u0f0e\u0eb6 \u0f3d\u09e3\u09e2\u061e\u09e2\u061e\u0616 \ua27a\u10da.<\/a><\/p>\n

To ground the emotional turbulence caused by her dreams, Yunbomu photographs nature and landscapes, driven by the \u201cuncanny subconscious\u201d and nameless beauty hidden within the mundane. \u201cI create to clear my own mind and seek salvation through a pure dialogue with visual language,\u201d says Yunbomu. Inspired by Hilma af Klint and Kazimir Malevich for their unwavering commitments to abstract expression, as well as Atsuki Kikuchi<\/a> for his \u201cstimulation in structural forms\u201d, Yunbomu has created something authentically weirdcore, as well as an original take on dream analysis and aesthetics that doesn\u2019t feel overly kooky. It\u2019s an ocular patchwork of symbols bursting through the seams of reality.<\/p>\n
