Seung Mo Park - an extraordinary Korean artist (now living in Brooklyn), whose works fascinate, surprise and give the viewer a true aesthetic pleasure. The Human project is a series of women sculptures made of aluminum wire.
Before embarking on the creation of sculptures, Song Mo Park perfectly mastered the art of creating openwork portraits from wire. Gradually, from two-dimensional images of pretty female faces, he moved on to volumetric sculptures. The use of such a plastic and malleable material as wire made it possible for the artist to work out the smallest facial features, strands of hair, details of clothing and other trifles with special care. As a result, the "iron ladies" look truly alive.
Apparently, the artist had to make a lot of efforts to fit the “steel threads” so tightly, because the sculptures look like a monolith without a single gap or gap. If you look closely, the wrapping resembles the rings on a tree trunk, which enhances its special visual effect.
Sensual and delicate, the sculptures from Son Mo Pak are a hymn to the beautiful female body, because, as Pierre de Ronsard, the famous French poet of the 16th century, said, “before female beauty, we have all become powerless. She is stronger than gods, people, fire and steel."
