Many modern sculptors and artists know how to create a work of art from a skein of wire. In their hands, the wire turns into trees, internal organs, people and animals, and also tries on other images. Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park he also loves to play with wire, but he does not turn out sculptures, but portraits, and he makes them according to a special scheme. Song Mo Park's portraits are called ephemeral, airy, incredibly light, since they consist of hundreds of thousands of small holes formed by the intricacies of wire in huge sheets. To get a full-fledged portrait from a single canvas, the artist simply cuts off excess sections of the wire, thinning out the layers of intricacies, and as a result, an image appears on the surface of the wire layer.
Of course, doing such painstaking work, the artist does not act at random, so as not to spoil the drawing. In order not to be mistaken, he projects the outlines of the future portrait onto a wire layer, and focuses on this template, deftly wielding metal scissors or pliers, cutting off the excess. This technique has been perfected by Son Mo Park for seven years, since his first solo exhibition of amazing wire portraits. And every year the famous galleries of contemporary art, both in Asia and Europe, warmly welcome the exhibitions of the talented maestro.
You can see what the secret of the Korean artist's work is in the following video:
