Prophets and soothsayers, fortune tellers and soothsayers have been predicting our world collapse for many years now from cataclysms and natural disasters, now from diseases, now they talk about the destructive Third World War. Especially sensitive people rush to build shelters for themselves, and Korean sculptor So Hyun Woo equips … characters from Disney cartoons and anime. Among contemporary sculptors, 33-year-old Seo Hoon Woo became famous for his amazing steel sculptures that depict characters from various cartoons in unusual roles for them.
His collection includes statues of leggy winged beauties in sparkling armor and weapons, similar to anime Amazons, created to fight on the side of good, figures of Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, armed with machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and other powerful warheads. And we can only guess what prompted the author to turn peaceful cartoon characters into "impenetrable" militants.
Seo Hong Woo is a very secretive person, at least there is very little information about him on the Internet. So, he lives and works in Seoul, participates in exhibitions of contemporary art, is exhibited in galleries in Korea and far abroad, and the Internet page, which the author presents as his portfolio, in English and Korean.
