Reflected Landscape, 2023, Stainless steel, stone, tree, Dimensions variable
Jongtaek WOO’s Reflected Landscape provides an implicit glimpse into his view of art, which seeks to explore the essence of nature through reflective thinking. The flexible form of the sculpture, reminiscent of flowing water, seems to render the improvisational and expressive “strokes” found in his paintings in three dimensions. The smoothly polished stainless steel reflects the surrounding landscape, while the irregular and curved surface creates a distorted image, blurring the boundary between reality and the imagination. This reflected landscape, which never stays still for a moment, continuously reacting to the season and weather, the change of light, the flow of air, and the viewer’s position, raises questions about the existence and nature of being. |
