Hedon 139 explores the complex emotions of love through graffiti-style works, characterized by a pink-toned color palette. The artist conveys messages about love across various platforms and offers new perspectives through deep exploration of the graffiti and pop art genres. Using primarily spray paint and acrylic, Hedon 139 aims to make the creative process approachable and enjoyable for the audience through performance art.
The Seven Hevils: Luxuria series portrays playful and clumsy expressions of love through the demon character Hevil, which is a reflection of the artist. Hevil plays pranks or exhibits obsessive behavior toward loved ones, yet these actions stem from pure feelings. The artist chose the demon symbol to represent love because it clouds reason and can become addictive, but in this series, the demon is depicted as a cute, childlike figure. This series humorously conveys the complexity and variety of love, emphasizing that no one can define love in just one way.
In contrast, the Anti Hevils: Hedonism series delves into the darker side of love. Stemming from experiences of betrayal and hurt in love, this series explores themes of anger and destructive pleasure. The violence and harsh words from loved ones have led the artist deeper into darkness, but Hedon 139 acknowledges that these experiences have shaped who they are today. The artist emphasizes the importance of revealing, rather than hiding, the wounds of love, reflecting the complexity of this emotion in their work. These two series explore the dual nature of love, offering audiences a rich and multifaceted experience of this profound emotion.
