Objectuals

Korean Artist are pushing on the European market for Arts. If you were following the emergence of korean galleries, or galleries with korean artists,on Art Fairs the last two years, you could see a steep rise. With success.
One of these interesting artist is Hyngkooo Lee. The first time I read about him was because of his work “animatus”. He constructed different skeleton, who depicted famous comic characters like roadrunner. I loved this work because of the humor and the idea of fictional character becoming real.
One other work , is more serious and bizarre. His face and body distorting Helmet and Gauntlet called “objectuals”. With this he pursues the alienation of the body of oneself and the perception by strangers. This work is also interesting because so many korean people are going to the esthetic surgeon to correct their face.
