Nature is afraid of symmetry, nature does not know ideal geometric shapes. But man can force nature to acquire these forms alien to her. A good example of this is the work of a Korean artist Lee jae-hyowhich creates from tree trunks ideal spheres.
Recently, more and more artists have begun to appear who seek to teach nature to live according to human laws. For example, to give it strict geometric shapes, which are practically not found in reality. As a confirmation of these words, one can mention the fruit and berry geometry from the Turk Shakir Gokcebag or the geometric creativity of the Korean Lee Jae-Hyo.
Lee Jae-Hyo is a highly popular contemporary artist. His work can be found in major galleries around the world. Personal exhibitions of this Korean are also held there.
But some of Lee Jae-Hyo's works also stand in the open air, far from settlements, in the middle of the forest. The fact is that this Korean artist is keen to return his sculptures to where he took the material for them.
And all because Lee Jae-Hyo uses tree trunks as a material. Moreover, he creates completely unexpected sculptures of them - ideal spheres. Such, looking at which it is absolutely clear what and how they are made.
This work is insanely difficult and painstaking. It takes the author several weeks of work to create one such sculpture. After all, we are not talking about a single solid wood, which needs to be spherical, but about individual trunks fastened together in a random order.

In search of inspiration, artists, sculptors and other people of art often turn to the creative heritage of famous maestros, absorbing their muse, mood, and lyrics. As a result, we talk about the strong influence of one or another master on the work of a modern author, and sometimes we can see with our own eyes what kind of master this author took as his teacher. These are imitations of famous masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, which has gone through dozens of parodies and recreations. A portfolio
Wood Art: Mathematical Wood Harmony Cha Jong-Rye
Wood art is a trend that was in vogue back in the era of stone axes. Wood still remains an indispensable material for works of art - and even such non-standard ones as living wooden sculpture. But when working with already sawn wood, not every artist will be able to fully use the natural wood texture, its rings and fibers. The way the Korean sculptor Cha Jong-Rye does it
