グッチのインスタグラム(gucci) - 11月2日 20時44分

Korean artist Yoo Hyun’s (@yoo.hyun) work might appear flat at first, incredibly detailed but seemingly monochromatic. Upon closer inspection, though, it’s revealed to the viewer that what’s being shown is the result of hours and hours of impeccable paper cutouts. Applying digital tricks like halftoning and patterning to render faces complete with shading and line, Yoo Hyun takes digital art analog, creating beautifully transparent, even transcendent portraits of cultural icons like Audrey Hepburn and Frida Kahlo. These works are effervescent; it seems that they can be picked up, held, and seen through even though they’re on a screen.
Viewing them on Instagram’s platform further complicates the physical nature of each paper cutout. Though the work gestures at the history of paper cutouts, it’s far more informed by how images are represented digitally—through pattern, dot, and careful line. In his #GucciGram #GGCaleido interpretation, Yoo Hyun has rendered these fashion images with a startling delicacy and precision. The cutouts are intricate, labor-intensive, and full of hidden dimensions—disappearing when you look at them one way, reappearing at another angle, casting shadows on the wall behind them, shadows that seem almost more substantial than the material of the cutouts themselves, somewhere in that space between digital artifact and paper.
