Fellow the fortunes (2018) Painting by Will Yu You Wei Yi

Will Yu is a contemporary Taiwanese artist whose work has long focused on the creation of human nature through the lens of life philosophy. His artistic endeavors explore the depths of human experience, particularly the inner worlds we all possess from childhood.

Yu's art often grapples with the theme of "leaving"—an act he sees as essential for personal growth. He observes that nothing is more challenging than bidding farewell to our comfort zones. While these zones offer contentment and a semblance of happiness, they can also serve as barriers to success. By leaving these familiar spaces, individuals can integrate with the world around them, pushing themselves beyond their limits and unlocking their true potential.

A recurring motif in Yu's work is the unconscious desires that lie within the human soul, often highlighted in the context of the interactions and conflicts between men and women. He posits that within every person, regardless of their outward demeanor, there exists an alternate character in their unconscious. This duality means that whether someone is outwardly tough or tender, they possess a hidden counterpart within themselves.

Yu's art delves into the human response to life's pressures and limitations. He notes that while some people face challenges with an unyielding, resistant attitude, there is always an aspect of their personality that leans towards compromise, negotiation, and resolution. Through his work, Will Yu invites viewers to acknowledge and explore these contrasting facets of their own nature.
