The Organic Chewing Gum Tastes Like
2021
A luminous and dreamlike composition rendered in rich gouache and oil, this 2021 work by Hiejin Yoo layers vivid, candy-like hues with a tactile, almost edible quality that evokes sensory memory and playful nostalgia. Yoo's signature blend of figuration and abstraction conjures a world that feels simultaneously familiar and surreal, where color itself becomes a flavor. The work invites viewers to experience painting as a synesthetic encounter, blurring the boundaries between taste, sight, and imagination.
