Myeongbeom Kim and his sculptures with a naturalistic message

Myeongbeom Kim is an artist from South Korea that realizes art installations and sculptures with a naturalistic message and a surrealist touch.

Deer with antlers that branch out like trees, light bulbs that resemble fish tanks and flying trees are just some of his original creations.

"I try to examine how my surrounding is perceived and remembered. To do this, I listen to a whisper from objects within my surroundings. I attempt and intimate, private dialogue with the world, trying to concretely present the way other things approach me, by using other mediums," he explains, and thanks to the combination between objects created by humans and nature, the sculptures seem to animate and become alive.

What is rarely absent in his art is the tree, that often plays as the main factor that gives to the objects a resemblance to living things.
Kim reflects on the existence and the ephemeral nature, creating a perpetual movement of images in a steady background, situations that would be real only in a dreamlike universe.

His ever growing work is an harmonic fusion of natural and artificial elements, capable of impressing the viewer with its simplicity and its attempt to break the rules and go beyond what we're used to see.
