Gwon Osang

Gwon Osang, a contemporary Korean artist, who uses hundreds of photographs of his subjuects to create remarkable 3D sculptures. (New form of art called photograhic sculpture). The series called 'Deodroant Type'- Gwon took hundreds of photographs of a single MODEL and layered them over mannequins for a result that is sometimes TRUE TO THE FORM OF THE MODEL, and sometimes ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT, verring into bizarre proportions. Sometimes, the strangeness of the work reveals itself slowly, as you view one fragment at a time. But in others, the deviation from REALITY IS EVIDENT- a man with two tiny heads on his shoulders, or two torsos attached to a singler pelvis wrestling with each other.
