Drawing in the air series
피카소의 작품 중 선을 최소화 하여 동물을 드로잉한 작품들이 있다.
나는 그 작품들을 통해 최초의 영감을 받았으며 그것을 캔버스가 아닌 공간 속에 재현하고 싶었다.
선, 면, 색은 나의 작품에서 작용하는 중요한 요소들이다.
2차원의 스케치북에 그려진 선은 작품의 큰 흐름과 형태를 결정하고 그것은 3차원의 공간 속에서 입체화 된다.
사각의 선은 흐름과 꼬임에 따라 다채로운 형태와 색상으로 보여지고, 멈춰있는 작품에서 역동감을 느낄 수 있게 된다.
또한 흐름에 따라 선의 굵기가 리드미컬하게 굵어지거나 가늘어지기도 하고 겹치는 부분에서 교집합이 발생하기도 한다.
그것은 선을 선(line)이 아닌 덩어리(mass)로 인식하고 작업하기 때문이다.
Considering his practice a form of “drawing in the air,” artist Lee Sangsoo forges colorful, spiraled flamingos, dogs, parrots, and other creatures with long strips of metal. He sculpts the minimal works with resin or stainless steel depending on the size—he uses the latter for any piece that spans more than one meter—and coats each angled side with subtle gradients or a complementary palette. Although three-dimensional and sometimes so large that they tower over the landscape, the creatures are inspired by Picasso’s small, abstract animal drawings, which the artist explains:
Lines, planes, and colors are important elements that work in my work. The lines drawn in the two-dimensional sketchbook determine the large flow and form of the work, and it becomes three-dimensional in the three-dimensional space. The square lines are shown in various shapes and colors according to the flow and twist, and you can feel the dynamism in the still work. Also, depending on the flow, the thickness of the lines may be rhythmically thickened or thinned.
Some of Lee’s works are on view as part of KIAF Seoul, and you can find more of the twisted menagerie on his Instagram.

Artist CV
Lee Sangsoo (born 1983) is a South Korean artist.
He studied sculpture at Dong-A University College of Arts and obtained his Masters degree at Hongik University Graduate School of Sculpture. He enjoyed painting and drawing lessons in middle school, then later furthered his arts education formally in high school and graduate school. However, the more he learnt about art, it was no longer as fun or enjoyable and it became a tedious full time job. It was only through revisiting his childhood youthful works did he rediscover the brilliancy and innocence in childlike composition, carefree and pure, largely inspiring his faux naif style of three-dimensional sculpture today.
