About the Item
Kim Seungwoo is a contemporary Korean sculptor, lives in Seoul, South Korea.
Seungwoo is famous for his sculptures made from coins and buttons. He creates hyper-realistic, life-size sculptures of human figures and spinning objects.
The Artist uses coins to build complex, surprisingly detailed, three-dimensional sculptures. Each sculpture consists of as few as hundreds of thousands of coins, up into the thousands. Assembled in flowing, swirling patterns, the coins make up Kim's sculptured human forms almost seem to be alive and create fascinating effects.

Kim Seungwoo
Kim Seungwoo is a contemporary Korean sculptor, based in Seoul, South Korea, famous for his sculptures made of coins. Seungwoo says, "I stack the coins one by one without taking a break to make a cubic object. The repetitive actions endlessly are a time of tiredness and hardship. I do rework on it to find the desired shape and find out another way as it was not matched with my estimation. Getting an answer to the changes and orders of new shape and satisfaction obtained as such becomes energy throughout making the work. The actions and time relieve the worry on the skill and harmony of the shape while working as the image of the material is powerful. I am attracted to ecstasy at the moment by moment when the work reveals its form slowly as if the result is broken out of the egg. I am talking about money. I try to make the coin itself to be a workpiece not as a function of money and to make the work to be coined. It is a consideration of the pros and cons of the money and the viewpoints such as the social ambition and value are listed through my works."

"Quayola employs technology as a lens to explore the tensions and equilibriums between seemingly opposing forces: the real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new. Constructing immersive installations, he engages with and re-imagines canonical imagery through contemporary technology. Landscape painting, classical sculpture and iconography are some of the historical aesthetics that serve as a point of departure for Quayola’s hybrid compositions. His varied practice, all deriving from custom computer software, also includes audiovisual performance, immersive video installations, sculpture, and works on paper.
His work has been performed and exhibited in many prestigious institutions worldwide including V&A Museum, London; Park Avenue Armory, New York; National Art Center, Tokyo; UCCA, Beijing; How Art Museum, Shanghai; SeMA, Seoul; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Ars Electronica, Linz; Sonar Festival, Barcelona and Sundance Film Festival.
Also a frequent collaborator on musical projects, Quayola has worked with composers, orchestras and musicians including London Contemporary Orchestra, National Orchestra of Bordeaux, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Vanessa Wagner, Jamie XX...
