Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist sculpture features a simple, elegant arc formed by a single teal-colored metal rod suspended from a golden hook. The arc's graceful curve and the interplay of the teal and golden tones create a harmonious and visually striking composition. The understated, sculptural form and the use of basic industrial materials suggest a focus on the inherent beauty of the shapes and materials themselves. This piece exemplifies the modernist approach of contemporary art, emphasizing the visual experience over narrative or symbolic content, and inviting the viewer to contemplate the inherent qualities of the work. ...

Suki Seokyeong Kang
Artist
Suki Seokyeong Kang
1977, South Korean

Suki Seokyeong Kang works with painting, sculpture, performance and video to meditate on the cultural traditions of Korea and how Korea’s history may impact individuals living today. Kang began her artistic career with painting, and this medium still serves as her guiding force. The artist religiously paints daily, gesturally marking everyday occurrences and emotions she experiences. This routine serves as a notational system which will give way to new bodies of work in sculpture, video or performance. In her sculptural works, Kang often blends materials with opposing characteristics, strong and sturdy steels, leathers and wood, meet fine threads, or reeds. Acting as a mediator, Kang understands the act of assemblage as a harmonistic process, working to bring together conflicting parties into one united new being. This pattern can be seen in Kang’s hwamunseok series, where Kang repetitively made traditional handwoven mats whose cultural legacy stems from the Goryeo period. The mats were delicately made with threads and reeds, each developing a distinct pattern and then, these matts were encased in brittle steel shells. Sparking conversations around individuality and societal limitations, Kang’s practice continues to wrestle the legacy of the past with the present, sensitively testing the parameters of self-expression. ...
