BIOGRAPHY

The artist has not made any plans since she gave herself the name “Heoyu”. As she cannot anticipate the apparitions, plans do not seem that useful.
She only observes the apparitions and synthesizes them in an attempt to find commonality. It has been said that philosophers continue to seek knowledge until they no longer understand it. This is similar to the situation of the artist.
They attempt to answer their own questions and struggle to find the answer. Their work is the result of this struggle. Eventually, they realize that Art cannot be defined. This is why they never stop painting, drawing, writing, singing, dancing, etc. Likewise, “Heoyu” as an artist maintains the same pattern; continues to pursue these activities.

STATEMENT

I believe that “how to look at the world” is the central element of art, and furthermore, studies in general; however, it depends on not the object which oneself paints—what he or she looks at, but one’s point of view—how he or she looks at something. In other words, art is “this” or “that,” and it indeed lies between “this and that.”
