Miyooon

The singular creations of Miyooon, a Japanese multimedia artist, arise from the concept that everything is composed of cells. “The world is made of cells,” he writes. “They are everywhere—inside our universe, our Earth, inside society, happiness, destiny and desire.” What makes Miyooon’s work unique is that he takes cells, entities normally invisible to the naked eye, and renders them in acrylic at a macro scale, undulating ameba-like forms merging, dividing, replicating, generating a world of their own on the two-dimensional surface. These “Cell Works,” as the artist calls them, are generally abstract yet organic in nature, suggesting the outlines of human or animal subjects. Overall, Miyooon’s paintings are intentionally optimistic; indeed, the artist strives for his cells to “infect all of the Earth with love and fun.”

Miyooon’s work has been exhibited throughout Japan and internationally. He currently works and resides in Tokyo.
