Brutality of the graffiti, sweetness of the art of calligraphy but also Cyrillic alphabet or hieroglyphs ... Woo plays with symbols and our imagination in addition.
Toute-à-tout with Asian roots
Its pseudonym evokes its Asian roots as much as its experience in Hong Kong. Within the group Le Comptoir and aboard its flagship, the Bibo restaurant, Woo is drowning in the works of Banksy, Murakami, Arsham, Ron English, Jonon, Basquiat, Invader, Hirst, Kaws, Shepard Fairey, André, Jr and many others. This initiatory journey finds its peak with art basel Hong Kong, an absolute concentrate of creativity and inspiration.
Woo is a jack-of-all-trades: music, furniture design-in collaboration in particular with the New York Karim Rashid-, interior architecture ... It is a multidisciplinary artist who has been carrying out his activities in Bordeaux since 2005.
An instinctive art that unfolds between street art and calligraphy
Inspired since childhood by the graphic universe of Keith Haring or Niki de Saint Phalle, Woo's production is characterized by a technique mixing acrylic painting, pigment inks, POSCA felt, Dorures. His favorite supports are paper or canvas. What do formats, large or small,, no one stops this incorrigible creative!
His art is at the crossroads of street art and calligraphy. Some of his work tackle contemporary societal themes that the eye in his stroll can identify by the symbol.
Recently, we were able to find Woo at the Halle Héméra de Bordeaux for the back -to -school exhibition in Kazoart in September 2020. A beautiful evening in which Woo made an exceptional live painting of almost 2 hours!
