Lazy Riot is an art collective where artists collaborate to convert a space through creative means. The first collaboration is by Nakyoung Sung (Nakion) and Nakhee Sung. Nakyoung Sung and Nakhee Sung are sisters who work individually as visual artists. Whilst working independently, they began to work collaboratively since 2010.  

For this exhibition, Lazy Riot will show wall drawing, flat work(painting/work on paper) and sculpture. Some will be individual pieces, others, collaborative works. The installation of these pieces will be conducted in an organic, irregular fashion rather than orderly conventional installation process. Artists will be making wall drawing pieces separately on various walls and yet there will be certain parts of the space where their expressions are mingled and merged together.

Artist Statement
- Nakhee Sung
The main creative idea of my recent work is to create a space that reveals an allusive vision of sensitivities through a decisively simple and expressionistic visual language. I use elements such as dots, drips, scribbles, brushstrokes and organic shapes. These elements of language are the means of an expressive communication that reflect and react with one another, and are intricately connected or alternately distant and disconnected. 

- Nakyoung Sung
I create works based on my personal reflection of the social tendencies and idiosyncrasies which I find in the reality. The fragility and nervousness of the modern societies and behaviors are through absurd figurines and fast brush stokes translated into a vibrant visual language. Various sources from conversations to newspapers and observations of my own surroundings become my inspirations and often it is the reaction to these dysfunctional aspects I witness in real life that becomes a motivation of my works.
