Examining the idea of creating faux mass within two-dimensional
flatness, Oh’s engages with the surrounding
Kauri forest, forming dialogues that parallel the molecular potential
for growth.

As a multimedia artist working across painting, sculpture and
performance art, Seung Yul Oh’s practice is embedded with elements
of whimsy and playfulness. You may have seen his iconic OnDo; a
fantastic larger-than-life sculpture of noodles held up by chopsticks in
the Asian foodie hub of Auckland’s Dominion Road.

As Oh suggests,

“The sculptures come alive with motion and light,
constantly transforming and shifting in response to the viewer’s
perspective."

The elements within the sculptures seem to expand and contract,
creating an illusion of life and growth, blurring the line between
static form and dynamic transformation. In this way, Oh challenges
the boundaries of art and perception, inviting a deeper exploration of how mass and transformation can exist within a flat, two-dimensional space.
