Death of the Mayor Park
Acrylic paint, barb wire, nails, silicone dildo, printed canvas, modeling paste, resin teeth on wood panel
, 20'' x 24'', 2024
Hyunjun builds a harsh, crowded image from teeth, wounds, barbed wire, nails, and sexually charged objects. The work may look funny at first, but the humor quickly becomes uncomfortable. Here, male desire is not shown as confidence or pleasure. It becomes a restless need that keeps feeding itself. As that need grows into obsession, the body in the image seems trapped, damaged, and almost consumed by its own impulses. The bright colors make the scene feel absurd, while the sharp materials make it feel dangerous. Hyunjun uses this ugly humor to show how desire can turn against the person who carries it. Self-destruction is not only the result of the image; it is the force that keeps it moving. 
I am interested in how male sexual desire turns into obsession and pushes men toward their own destruction.
