About the Item
"Discovery 2018-3" by Kug Kyung Oh
Medium: Bronze
Edition: 2 of 6
Dimensions: 19.5 x 19.5 x 89 cm / 7.7 x 7.7 x 35 in
Year: 2018
"Discovery 2018-3" by Kug Kyung Oh is a profound meditation on form, material, and the passage of time. The sculpture presents an elongated figure with a textured, almost eroded surface, evoking both fragility and endurance. Through an intricate interplay of volume and emptiness, the artist invites contemplation on presence, impermanence, and the silent narratives carried by the human form.
• Masterful Textural Contrast – The organic, vertical striations in the bronze surface resemble a fusion of natural erosion and sculptural refinement, offering a tactile depth that engages both sight and touch.
• Limited Edition – With only six editions, this sculpture remains an exclusive part of Kug Kyung Oh’s evolving exploration of abstraction.
• Emotional & Conceptual Depth – The elongated proportions and restrained gesture suggest both movement and stillness, capturing an introspective, almost ephemeral presence.
Kug Kyung Oh’s work is widely recognized for its ability to distill human experience into minimalist yet deeply expressive forms. His sculptures reflect a timeless quality, referencing both ancient artistic traditions and contemporary abstraction. Discovery 2018-3 embodies a sense of introspection, making it a compelling piece for collectors drawn to art that speaks through material and form rather than explicit representation.
"Discovery 2018-3" stands as a quiet yet powerful dialogue between material and meaning, offering an evocative presence in any collection.

About this body of work:
“Everybody has that feeling when they look at a work of art and it’s right, that sudden familiarity, a sort of...recognition, as though they were creating it themselves, as though it were being created through them while they look at it or listen to it...” ―William Gaddis, "The Recognitions"
“A great deal of my recent work was made during a time when I was reading the great American novel by William Gaddis, "The Recognitions," the most demanding book I’ve ever read. Along the way, I extracted sentence fragments that interested me and I pieced them together to make the titles for the last three years of my work. So, my recent work is linked to Gaddis’ novel through the titles, but also in the theme of “recognition,” which speaks to the nature of my work. I feel my way through various processes until I recognize a possibility―a possibility that is promising in terms of visual dynamics but also in terms of giving a body to some part of my experience. It is my hope that the viewer is compelled to recognize some part of themselves reflected in the work.” —Michael O’Keefe
Michael O’Keefe earned his MFA from SMU and currently teaches at The O’Keefe Studio Center in Richardson, Texas. This sculpture was included in "Recognitions," his fifth solo exhibition at Valley House...
