Yeong-Deok Seo's sculptures are impressive works of art.
It's hard to tell these sculptures were actually made out of real welded chains. The detail of each body and face seem to have been impossibly contoured using such materials. Yet, Yeong-Deok Seo shows us just how malleable this material really is.
Based in Seoul, South Korea, Yeong-Deok Seo's sculptures are absolutely stunning, not to mention incredibly expressive. Using different chains, from heavy-duty industrial ones to bicycle chains, Yeong-Deok Seo's series of sculptures is mysteriously titled Addict: Meditation 3.
Yeong-Deok Seo is a recent graduate from the University of Seoul Environmental Sculpture program. It's amazing to see how creative this artist can be with simply industrial material. These designs make one look at chains in a whole new light.
