About the Artist

Lymphochairs are warriors of the planet Orginion, its guards, akin to the regular army. They embody lymphocytes as the personification of the immune cell in a human body. At the very beginning, it is a chair that is still a dormant lymphocyte. Every time people sit on it, this simple action becomes hatching it like eggs. It turns out that a person must unassisted hatch his immune cell. After it wakes up and grows up from the warmth, it acquires battle skills, weapons, costumes. Afterwards it is allocated around the planet Orginion — each Lymphochair to a special place. If it ends up on Earth, then it will exist in houses of people who have obtained it and will gradually be hatched. Limphochair which has woken up on Earth becomes the defender of the person who hatched it and does his will.

Taras Yoom (born as Taras Zheltyshev) is a multidisciplinary artist and the creator of Yoomoota, a Universe at the intersection of art and design. Yoomoota features a diverse array of planets, inhabitants, and more, all reflecting aspects of human experience. Taras originally pursued a career in medicine before transitioning to art, using his background in biology and nature to enrich the vibrant world of Yoomoota.

The Yoomoota Art Universe encompasses collectible sculptures, biomorphic furniture, paintings, and mixed media pieces. Drawing on his fascination with medical and scientific studies, Taras infuses his art with a profound understanding of biology and nature. His Bangkok-based workshop serves as an experimental space where various techniques and genres come together to explore physical phenomena and socially relevant themes.

Taras Yoom's unique technique brings fantastical images to life, creating art that holds a distinguished place in any collection. Each character within the Yoomoota Art Universe is imbued with its own legend and ideology, making his work not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful.

Renowned for his talent, Taras Yoom has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Good Design Awards, IDA, AD Design Award, and Elle Decoration.
