Jungseok Oh “Records” Opening Reception at Redbud Arts Center, West Gallery

Redbud Arts Center is pleased to present the body of steel wire sculptures by Korean artist Jungseok Oh.

Artist Statement:

“I usually create sculptures inspired by my daily life. My “Records” series started with my personal experience which was extremely tough. These works of art are a kind of recording of the species which are facing the risk of extinction. The sculptures capture and highlight these disappearing lives. I weld steel wires, which are very strong and indestructible, and this reflects my obsession and fear of the loss of life. All living things share a connection. The creatures are part of Nature. It’s time to be aware that selfish and reckless destruction of other’s lives by us will eventually lead to our own demise because we humans are part of Nature as well.”
