Mad Bu

As the king of a mystical magic power and an enchantment of manipulation, when I think about how to create the scenery of my own land, subconsciously, my identity changes from the ‘real me’ in to the ‘alternate me’, which is a twisted-minded king who owns all the crazy grotesques as his residents. There is an alternate world that my alto ego and my art inhabit. Darkness and the fantasy interweave in my artist’s practice. Inspired by medieval art, folklore, pagan, dreams, supernatural, puppetry and fairy tales, I make art that depicts imaginary characters, creatures and their activities. I see myself live with them by splitting my identity again and again between reality and the alternate world.

The rebirth of the realistic knowing, fear, and sadness. I make a turn-over by using a ‘hidden magic’ and create new forms of emotions in the alternate world, breaking away from common sense and materialism.
