MADE IN MONTREAL
En considérant le monde différent by
JUNO YOUN
Toronto, March 22rd, 2011 – De Luca Fine Art | Gallery presents “MADE IN MONTREAL En considérant le monde différent”, a solo exhibition of International artist Juno Youn. Exhibition Duration: April 9th to April 30th, 2011. De Luca Fine Art | Gallery is hosting the Opening Reception: Saturday, April 9th, 2011, from 6 pm to 9:30 pm.
Juno Youn delves once again into his familiar visual journey, which successfully prompted the creation of prior exhibitions including A Never Ending Story, Korean Folk Tales, Three-Ring Circus, DEJAVU, Transformer and Conjuror. This latest series of works titled “MADE IN MONTREAL En considérant le monde différent" will return Juno Youn to his strong artistic style and his ongoing investigation of themes and expressions. Juno’s new series in exhibition represents and recounts a reflection of his time, spent in Montreal, as he can easily see his changing attitudes and moods, from simple happiness to the anxiety derived by new challenges after his recent car accident. Each of these very different emotions and feelings are graphically expressed in Juno’s own language or symbolism. The participants share a moment with each image, as they indulge in the changing narrative within each artistic interpretation. The trace of both Surrealism and Expressionism in Youn’s work would define him as a Trans-Avant-Garde artist. This series’ artistic language shows signs of homage or tribute to many of the artists’ works that have influenced him over his career. This series has, for Juno, found a common ground that is comforting. The shared space is that of his own artistic expression, mixed with the assortment of influences culminating in a satisfying place of his own. His vision and his voice have found a comfortable place and it feels good.
Juno Youn's work has been collected by: Osler, Hoskin & Hartcourt, Toronto | Mizuma Art Galleries, Tokyo, Japan | Cambridge Art Galleries Canada | Longyear Museum of Colgate University of N.Y, U.S | Westfield State Collage Foundation, Massachusetts, U.S | and many private collections.
