Dancing with the Wolves

​

This series reflects on the fragility of social order and the tensions that surface when competing interests collide. While we entrust leaders with wisdom, law enforcers with protection, and citizens with compassion, reality often reveals deep fractures between rulers and the ruled, and among communities themselves.

​

Boo reinterprets images of protest, punishment, and public unrest that have circulated globally in recent years. Through dark humour, lurid colour, and heightened theatricality, he amplifies the uncanny repetitions of figures, synchronized gestures, and poster-like tableaux. Each work, titled after protest-related songs such as Another One Bites the Dust, Too Young to Die, and Don’t Take Your Guns to Town, creates an intertextual dialogue that expands the meaning of the scenes beyond the canvas.

​

With irony and wit, Boo’s paintings invite viewers to reflect on civil discontent and to question the curated narratives that shape our perception of truth in today’s post-truth era.
