Seoul, b. 1981
Taesoo Lee is a Korean sculptor known for creating heavy-looking objects using lightweight materials. His work explores the gap between perception and reality by crafting hyper-realistic sculptures of boulders and steel beams that visually defy gravity. Through optical illusion and material deception, Lee challenges viewers’ assumptions and offers a playful yet thought-provoking commentary on how we perceive the world.
