Depression

Jisu Choe’s triptych explores the restlessness of engaging online all the time. The three works are colourful and  visually attractive. It is only after they have gone beyond their pop appearance that viewers notice the dramatic tone  underlying the artist’s comic style. 


The bright colours in these illustrations are reminiscent of those the public sees on the backlit screens of their digital  devices. Psychological pressure can take shape using aesthetics that are as funny as they are oppressive. In Anxiety,  a female character is burned out, covered with emojis and social media logos that form a communicative entropy  that does not give the possibility of self-expression.
