About The Artwork

TH, Human Suit is an artistic proposal that digs into the duality of the tangible and intangible, the visible and invisible, the physical and immaterial of the human being.  Through 29 oil on canvas paintings and multidisciplinary artistic expressions such as painting, sculpture, installation, video and design, Man Yu and her guest artists reflect the humanity historic intention of proving its abstract truths, its souls, with the ephemeral of its creations, and knowing that the essential cannot be proved by itself without physical interventions that seek to prolong and decipher each particle of its expirable materialization full of unanswered realities to the question that is repeated insistently in each of the artworks: “What Are We? ​​ The first work in the collection was executed in 1987. Man Yu, immersed in this premature reflection, materialized for the first time this dense and abstract concept when she was only 9 years old. However, it was not until 2013 when Man Yu felt the call to delve again into this recurrent question and answer it through her brush. The first human suit was painted as an impotent relief, but the subsequent artworks are the work of transforming this catharsis into poetry and communication
