The Unsettling Sculptures of  Choi Xooang

Coming from South Korea, Choi Xooang has been sculptig for almost 14 years now. Introduced to sculpture in an art school, he was immediately struck by the medium and the possibility of creating an actual and tangible object. Both fascinating and disturbing, Xooang’s figures show his concerns about human condition in the society. Although the intricate details make them as hyperrealistic as the works of Ron Mueck, Xooang’s sculptures are often surreal at the same time, having their bodies disorted or merged with other species. Open for numerous interpretations, they leave the viewer with unsettling feelings. But as the Korean artist said in a recent interview with Yatzer, “If one feels uncomfortable physically or mentally when viewing my work, I would say it worked.”( h/t:ignant)

 Strange and Beautiful Portraits Of Iconic Starlets By Kim Byungkwan

 Time to look at some weird portraits where you can’t really see the faces – as if someone had deliberately messed them up so they couldn’t be recognized. But they didn’t. Kim Byungkwan from Korea intentionally paints portraits with a kind of distorted reality. He aims to create “strangeness from familiarity”. Everyone expects to be able to see the face on a portrait, so Kim decided to free himself up from this convention and show us something a little different. His pictures are pretty strange and bizarre – but that’s exactly the way he wants them to look. Sure it’s nice to see the same kind of stuff that we’re familiar with, but it keeps us from discovering anything new. “My work is trying to destroy, tear up, and reconstruct this habitual vision so that our vision can be extended to other images,” says the artist.
