ByungHo Lee

ByungHo Lee sculpts 'emptiness' and 'empty substance.' He reasons invisible substance that is not present and cannot be sensed - immaterial beings, and then presents sculpted human body in a traditional form of sculpture. In front of Lee's works, it is impossible to have a conventional narrative development of human body sculpture depicting a concrete object with clear lines/surfaces and weight/gravity that we usually understand and interpret.
