Picture
Sweet Monster, 40x150x40(h)cm, image sculpture, pigment print, 2013
JANG Seunghyo  (1971~)

Jang Seunghyo's work takes a structure whose forms and images are dictated by his old memories in different places.This highly personal figurative sculpture is just as likely to take inspiration from the images of internet, magazine, or snapshot. However, it is not an easy quotation. It speaks of familiarity that provides a starting point for his works to acquire new identities suffused with ambiguity.
Jang‟s work transforms the two-dimensional into the three-dimensional in order to construct more scientific and spiritual notions of identity.The process of collecting images is reminiscent of recollecting memories.According to the artist,the accumulation of multi-layered images is actually“a kind of dedicated performance to visualize affection toward a woman.”Very personal. But the collaged photographs of his daily experiences act as common areas of recognition that ground his work in a shared reality, igniting unconscious associations in the viewer.The result is a rich infusion of individual memories and collective associations. Never intended to represent a specific story, his work occupies a gray zone. It is the zone of reinterpretation. Numerous fragments of plastic and photographs have metamorphosed into a hybrid being that challenges pictorial convention and stretches possibilities of mixing fragmented memories into a single entity.
Presenting a cacophonous composition of mechanical rigidity and organic fluidity, Jang‟s new photo sculpture shows inventive negotiation between geometric abstraction and anatomical figuration.The abstract qualities in figuration and figurative qualities in abstraction are interwoven to create the unprecedented structure of images. Images become solid like muscles while structures become floating like images.The use of highly artificial combinations of shimmering, curvaceous cuttings makes his work look closer to a futuristic illusion, which adds materiality to images and very contemporary look to his work.
