Jin Young Yu

I've just discovered this amazing Korean artist called Jin Young Yu on one of Stella Im Hultbergs blogs, lovely distractions.

Stella recently did an interview with Jin young yu for Arrested Motion which you can read here.

It's an interesting read and the images are captivating and unsettling.

Young yu says of her work "My works are about people who, instead of getting along with others, choose to keep a distance from them, and be invisible or be left alone unconcerned. Instead of trying to fit into the world, they climb into a space of their own and reject other people’s intrusions".

She explores themes that are close to my heart and my own experience and so I find her images to be very thought provoking, and more to the point, emotion provoking.

Hope you look at her work further. Enjoy.

Stella Imhultberg

I just realised that Stella Imhultberg, one of my favourite artists, has a new address for her blog, take a look at her blog here, and her website here.
I adore her work, it's beautiful and sensual and sometimes a little dark. She creates a great sense of atmosphere in many of her paintings too, the women have a real presence and are very seductive.
