Seong-Gu Lee

Born in 1984 in Korea, Seong-Gu Lee has developed a sculptural practice that moves from the human figure toward broader questions of relation, embodiment, heat, circulation, and existential presence. While grounded in a disciplined sculptural language, his work has gradually expanded from bodily form to larger structures of circulation, condensation, and spatial tension.

This trajectory takes shape in the Chiasme series, where Lee rethinks the body not as a self-contained anatomical figure but as a field of perception, relation, and entanglement. In these works, sculpture becomes a site where self and world, visibility and invisibility, sensation and thought intersect. Rather than presenting the figure as a closed whole, Lee opens it toward a more unstable and relational condition of being.

Within this series, his sculptural language also developed through repeated modular structures derived from the forms of X and Y chromosomes. These internal units are not simply formal devices, but a way of understanding bodily existence as already coded, relational, and interconnected. Through repetition, interruption, and linkage, the figure is reorganized as a system of crossings rather than a fixed body.

In Solaris, this inquiry expands toward a more cosmic register. Heat, cyclic energy, light, and condensation become central, and sculpture shifts from the articulation of bodily relation toward the formation of a larger energetic field. Circular and radiating forms do not simply depict stars or celestial bodies; they function as compositional structures through which emergence, return, and existential tension become perceptible. What matters here is not the illustration of a motif, but the sculptural manifestation of forces that exceed visible form.

More recent works, including Eclosion, gather these trajectories into a more concentrated language of rupture, emergence, and transformation. Across these series, Lee’s sculpture moves between the human and the cosmic, between stillness and latent motion, and between visible structure and invisible pressure. Rather than treating sculpture as a static object, he understands it as a state, a condition in which relation, mass, perception, and spatial tension come into temporary balance. In this way, his work asks how sculpture can still hold presence and existential force in an age increasingly shaped by images and immaterial systems.
