Metal men

Korean artist Yeong-Deok Seo creates imposing figurative sculptures using tightly knit configurations of welded bicycle chains and industrial steel chains.






   




So what are your thoughts on these sculptures?  Can you think of any other types of materials or objects that you think he should try or that maybe you would even like to try?

    I think that if someone did this with recycle metal that would be really cool plus help the enviroment because steel takes along time to decompose. the sculptures look really cook

    This is very interesting. I would imagine that this is pretty heavy.

    This is a really cool project to do. It looks like it would take a while to make the metal look like this. This would be cool to do in class with scrap metal.

    I think this would be super hard. You would have to be able to shape the metal which would require a lot more skill than us as high school students have.

    It looks like they took chains off of bikes and swings to make these. They are cool but imagine them in your house....you wake up at like 12 to go to the bathroom and you see this humanly figure. I would freak out.

    These pieces of art look like they took chains off random things, and stuck them together to make people. I do think this is really cool and a unique way of expressing art. This project would take a lot of time getting supplies, and sticking it all together.

    i think it is really neat, it looks like some are from bicycles, i have accidently gotten cut on a bike chain so i dont know if this would be dangerous to someones health.

    I really like this art it looks very good and looks like they really put a lot of time and work into this sculpture. I feel as if this would have taken forever to make and the fact that he stuck with it to make the person out of it is amazing.
