About the Artist

The Red Fear installation isn't just an art piece, it's a portal to a story. It introduces viewers to the guardian of one of the underworld gates on the planet Orginion. The character, a fiery red figure, symbolizes the challenges of bravery that await those who enter his domain. This installation is about Red Fear's role in guiding Aspr1m, the main character of the Yoomoota Universe, allowing him to confront his fears and ultimately find his own way out. Red Fear, by keeping fears open, provides an opportunity for self-discovery and character development. Exhibitions: Define: Seoul 2024 (Seoul), Cosmoscow-2024 (Moscow)

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.
