Hyper-Realistic Resin Sculptures of Dangling Korean Noodles

Artist Seung Yul Oh recreates common Korean noodle dishes, but with a spectacular twist. Using synthetic resin, a pair of chopsticks float 12-feet-high, with dangling noodles flowing all the way down into the bowl.

“Do you have any final words you want to say?” “It’d be nice if it rained. We’re in such a drought these days…” “Do your parents run a farm?” “No. I don’t know any farmers, I just have a bit of useless love for humanity.”

“마지막으로 하고 싶은 말이 있나요?” “비가 왔으면 좋겠네요. 요즘 너무 가뭄이 들어서…” “부모님이 농사하세요?” “아뇨. 제 주변엔 없는데 제가 쓸데없는 인류애가 좀 있어서요.”

“I wanted to elevate television to an art form that was as highly valued as the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.”—Nam June Paik, born on this day in 1932.

V-yramid (1982), shown here installed in the 2015 exhibition America Is Hard to See, is a ziggurat of forty television sets of decreasing sized. Made for the artist’s retrospective at the Whitney in 1982, the work draws a visual analogy between ancient pyramidal architecture and modern media technology.

“Whenever I eat the same food at the same time of day, it’s like I’ve turned back time. If I eat the same lunch today as I did yesterday, it feels like I’ve returned to yesterday. There was a time I absolutely loved curry, so I ate it every day at the same time. If I do that, it’s okay even if I drink alcohol and make a mistake. If I eat curry the morning after making a drunken mistake, then I can start things over and get rid of that mistake as if it never happened.”

“저는 같은 시간대에 같은 음식을 먹으면 시간을 되돌린 것 같다고 느껴요. 어제,오늘 점심으로 같은 음식을 먹으면 마치 어제로 돌아간 듯한 느낌이 드는거죠. 제가 카레를 엄청 좋아할 때가 있었는데, 그래서 매일 같은 시간에 카레를 먹었어요. 그러면 술을 먹고 실수를 해도 괜찮아요. 술먹고 실수한 다음날 일어나서 카레를 먹으면 그 실수를 제 기억에서 없었던 걸로 만들 수 있으니까요.”

Doodles of despair.

Artist Creates Delicate Drawings of South Korea’s Small Convenience Stores

Drawings by Seungyea Park

Seungyea Park aka Spunky Zoe was born in South Korea, and have received BFA, and MA in Longisland NY, USA.

My works address the topic of “Monstrousness” caused by fear in our inner world. Due to fear and horror being used as the most “universal” and constant devices to maintain social systems as “injustice”, and consider them “enemies”.

While regarding tabooed beings deviating from us as monsters, we ourselves become freaks. Monsters are everywhere. At the moment the “I” within me faces the “I” outside of me. They try to avoid, conceal, and deny each other, considering the other a monster. The true nature of fear is perhaps an evasion of something nonexistent. I make my work wishing that I can be accustomed to and overcome fear by drawing out, and facing monsters, or the true nature of fear.
