Eerie hyper-real sculptures

Incredible artist & link to BBC article.

Towards the end of the video presentation there is a sculpture of 2 women entwined & the hair forming a tree . That one is my favorite.

"From his studio just outside Seoul, Xooang Choi makes art that is anything but ordinary. His sculptures of the human body are both grotesque and beautiful, surreal and hyper-real.

Scattered around his workshop are feet, eyeballs, hands and faces, eerily waiting to be incorporated into one of the intricately detailed pieces he is working on.

But the Korean artist uses the body as a metaphor for social norms and conventions that pervade Korean society."
