Yeo Kaa (b. 1989) Untitled signed and dated 2020 (lower right) acrylic on canvas 12 1/2” x 12 1/2” (32 cm x 32 cm) The glitter and gruesome go hand-in-hand in this sizable work by contemporary artist Yeo Kaa. Currently lauded as one of the most exciting contemporary artists working today, Yeo Kaa masterfully blends her technicolor and vibrant palette with seemingly taboo and macabre images. As an artist, Yeo Kaa is concerned with expressing her own personal experiences through the medium of her art. While her candy-colored aesthetic exemplifies the two-fold temperament of her generation; one that sees the value of a clear and concise aesthetic, but also understands its ironic and even memetic potential in the real world. Hence, Yeo Kaa’s works can be seen as a parody of the human condition, especially when it comes to mental health. (J.D.)
