In the heart of the Hyundai Premium Outlet Space 1 in Namyangju, Jaime Hayon’s “Visionary Monkey” stands as a whimsical and captivating centerpiece. This remarkable sculpture, made of white concrete-like material, depicts a monkey with large round glasses, holding a golden monocular to its eye.
The monkey’s upward gaze through the monocular suggests a moment of curious observation and a visionary search for new perspectives. The playful and surreal aesthetic is a signature of Hayon’s work, blending art and design to create a memorable experience for visitors. This large-scale piece not only adds a touch of artistic flair to the modern retail space but also embodies a sense of discovery and creative spirit.
