Yawny (SG): Surrealism & Loneliness in the City

April 15, 2022 in Visual Art

ABOUT THE ART
“Working on a series that captures moments of urban isolation. As cities are becoming more and more developed, we are witnessing an increase in the number of isolated individuals. How do we deal with this more subtle pandemic? ” - yawny.jpg


ABOUT THE ARTIST
Yawny
plays seriously by creating surreal dreamscapes in an attempt to make sense of non-sense. His work consists of mostly illustrations of the unknown, as an attempt to capture the absurdity of life and how it can either be a motivating source of fascination or one of paralysing terror. While the work may depict surreal subject matter, it is deeply rooted in experiences that are human. Each image can be interpreted as a celebration of existence, perhaps even as encouragement to carry on despite the odds. Yawny is always a work in progress, wandering and piecing things together, diverging from a plan, sometimes not even beginning with one. Yawny is a process of trying to make connections along the way, failing most of the time, hoping for the best - isn't that all we can truly do?
