As an interdisciplinary artist, Ryu’s focus lies in exploring the existential meaning of selfhood, delving into how we infuse significance into our existence. Ryu wants to highlight the resilience of human beings through the chaos and conflicted times. With a scientific background shaping her analytical perspective, Ryu employs moving images to convey perceptions, sculptures to articulate symbols, and paintings to manifest aesthetic sensibilities. This convergence of mediums engages audiences on multiple levels, offering diverse entry points into exploring the profound and multifaceted nature of human meaning and expression. +* +Her recent work explores the lives of leprosy patients in South Korea. Based on their stories and imaginations, she delivers people’s memories and minds, questioning how our lives overlap through shared emotion among different timelines and spaces. Ryu mainly described these battles in symbolic figures, ‘Flower people.’ Figures of the survivors are posed like those in Blake’s illustrations, transforming the islanders into mythological figures - hidden gods and goddesses seamlessly entwined with the resurgent nature, a testament to Sorokdo’s capacity to rise from the shadows and embrace a hopeful future. +* +Ryu is based in London and educated in South Korea and Sweden. +* +#rca_masterofresearch #abjection #sickpeople #isolation #iseparation #leprosyawareness #empathy #stigma #소록도 #painting #contemporaryart #royalcollegeofart |
