Lauren YS’s “Corpus Flux” at Juddy Roller Gallery.
Currently on view at Juddy Roller Gallery in Melbourne, Australia is artist Lauren YS’s exceptional solo exhibition, “Corpus Flux.”
This body of work addresses the idea of bodies in flux, both in states of identity and physicality. Large churning masses of characters flow and twist around central hubs anchored by areas of dark ink—animal overlords that act like planets around which her characters revolve. At first glance, the viewer is confronted by a complex, intricate fluctuating mass that reveals itself piece by piece at closer inspection. These drawings act almost as visual puzzle chains in which each link in the chain is forged by human connection. The over-arching element is playful, strange and sensuous sex, a theme which plays out almost with a mind of its own over the course of this body of work.
Using only black ink, Lauren returns to her roots in graphic novels to render out this world. The medium allows exploration of a wide range of characters, most of them mutant, monster or sporting curiosities, expressing wholeheartedly themes of body positivity and inclusion.
The exhibition will be on view through December 2018.

“Many people have come and left, and it has been always good because they emptied some space for better people. It is a strange experience, that those who have left me have always left places for a better quality of people.”
— Osho (via perrfectly)
