Wook Seo (Hyunwook Seo) is a visual artist based in Seoul and New York, who refuses to be confined to a specific culture or style, positioning himself as an intermediary in the gaps between boundaries. He earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Metal Craft from Seoul National University and later received an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York. Following this, he participated in a residency program at Flux Factory in New York, where he engaged in various collaborative projects and exhibitions.

Recently, he has been devoted to adding narrative layers to the imaginations he builds within digital spaces, materializing them through carefully chosen mediums, and presenting them to the audience. The physical entities he creates pull viewers into the digital realm, inviting them into his narratives regardless of their generation or background knowledge.

DESCRIPTION

Using traditional metalworking and lacquer techniques, I meticulously crafted a set of trophies designed for food ingredients. All components were made exclusively from brass and walnut, and the work was created to present a ridiculous subject with a serious, refined execution.
