Seung Yul Oh has created an instantly recognisable and idiosyncratic practice combining elements of East Asian popular culture with ironic references to high Western art history. He is well known for whimsical art works that toy with scale and exist somewhere between spectacle and participation. Resisting a conventional approach to form and material, he redefines and challenges ordinary objects and spaces in ways that are both lighthearted and serious.
Examining the idea of creating faux mass within two-dimensional flatness, Oh’s Cycloid sculptures engage with their surrounding landscape, forming dialogues that parallel the molecular potential for growth. These sculptures come alive with motion and light, constantly transforming and shifting in response to the viewer’s perspective. The elements within the sculptures seem to expand and contract, creating an illusion of life and growth, blurring the line between static form and dynamic transformation. In this way, Oh challenges the boundaries of art and perception, inviting a deeper exploration of how mass and transformation can exist within a flat, two-dimensional space.
