So Youn Lee
“Dream Talk”

So Youn Lee is a Korean artist who lives and works in Irvine, CA. She is best known for her whimsical and vibrant paintings that takes on narrative of investigating emotions, memories and hope. Lee’s character ‘Mango’ Explores a candy-like universe with its companion ‘Choco’, to find connection with individuals and what is happening in the culture today. In this show ‘Dream Talk’, the environment melts down into objects, objects becomes alive and Mango finds happiness in wonderment of its surrounding. This child-like imagination carries pureness, naive perspective about life that leads us to total positivity, yet unreachable nostalgia.

Justine Lin
“Noble”

Justine Lin paints surreal spaces and magical places inhabited by noble beasts. Her human and anthropomorphic characters remind us of both the lofty and low aspects of human nature. “Noble” is a celebration of the whimsical and the absurd, with a dash of introspection and melancholy, against the backdrop of a bucolic fantasy world.

Mayuko Nakamura
“Hentai”

Mayuko Nakamura was born in Osaka, Japan. Utilizing vibrant colors and imagery, Mayuko depicts stylized and seductive women from her unique female perspective. Her girls are provocative and sexual, but even more importantly, strong and powerful….as Mayuko herself aspires to be.

Naoshi
“Sweets Planet”

Using shiny colorful sand, which is called SUNAE in Japan, I’m making SUNAE art. I always get inspirations from things around my everyday life, such as my favorite sweets, sunny side up eggs, the big continuous sky and the rain, etc. My art is the reflection of my imagination. I usually get ideas and start sketching when I imagine surreal things and have a moment like “Ah, the whole scenery would be funnier if those things looked like this!” I always hope to live life brightly each day just like the sparkly shiny sand that gracefully slips through my hands and fingers.
