Lee SungKuen

이성근

Korean, b.1954


Lee Sungkuen translates mathematical concepts and abstraction into sculptural language, visualizing topological explorations through cocoon-like structures. His sculptures, woven from steel lines, symbolize a world where countless human figures join hands, representing life, nature, and the order of the universe. Each connection between lines is not merely a mechanical joint but a representation of humanity itself, reflecting his exploration of the intrinsic relationship between humans and nature. Through his work, Lee conveys that we are part of nature and can overcome crises through solidarity and harmony. His exhibition, The Cycle of Life, highlights this message, illuminating the interconnectedness of humanity and life.
