'meditation V' by seo young deok


korean artist seo young deok has expanded his opus of bicycle chain artworks with 'meditation V', the form of a human face emerging
from a sculpted surface. the piece is an addition to a scope of works deok has been creating for years. using miles of metal chains -
whether it be from a bicycle or traditional shackles - the material is carefully welded to mimic the organic curves of a torso or
fragments of a nose and eyes. one of his pieces of a giant 7-5 meter tall head molded from over GBP25,000 of chain. the work is informed by
deok's interest in crowded markets - at the metro or bus station - as well as elements of buddhist sculptures and paintings.
