    Boeeuen Choo: Ink Drawing Project

    Back in December, Boeeuen Choo’s spiritual art inspired by the design and template of original tarot cards featured on kdoutsiderart. Last month, Boeeuen got back in touch about a new project that I really wanted to feature here. It’s always great to hear from the artists featured in the artist showcases; to hear about their new work, new inspirations and ideas. So, below you’ll find a paragraph from Boeeuen about the ink drawing project, as well as a selection of great images.

    “I have always been fascinated by the idea of ‘mind.’ Our mind is like another world – it is impossible to fathom its depths. My idea of psychology is better illustrated visually than in my writings. That is why I decided to create a series of drawings related to the human mind. These drawings are not straightforwardly illustrated, instead, they are quite surreal. However, I want viewers to engage with the stories of drawings personally, emotionally.” – Boeeuen Choo

    Boeeuen Choo: Spiritual Art

    This Artist Showcase comes from Boeeuen Choo, who is inspired by the design and template of original tarot cards.

    I always have been drawing – ever since I was young. And then I decided to pursue art as my career. My interest is in the design and template of original tarot cards, and that’s what made me decide to turn my drawings into versions of tarot cards – although some titles are made up and do not exist in the original tarot form.

    Initially, I decide what title I’m going to work from, and then I’ll draw something from my imagination that connects with that title. I believe that being in a different country to my family, friends and culture really influenced my work. I was originally born in South Korea and I moved to the US when I was fifteen years old. I was young and alone in another country, with my family back in Korea. I think this experience influenced my view on everything, including art.

    I hope that my work evokes emotion from the viewer. My goal is for the viewer to interpret the piece in their own way, as if they were looking in mirror.

    If I were to choose a term other than Outsider Art, I think I would choose ‘spiritual art’. I think this term more accurately describes what I do. I like to work on different things at the same time, and more recently, I have been concentrating on pattern work.
