Initial impressions of Korean Sculptor Xooang Choi’s latest works might reasonably include words like disturbing, mysterious, possibly even frightening, yet these reactions only point to the tip of an iceberg whose depths reveal social, political, and human pathology based issues.

Pieces from two separate exhibitions, ”The Pruritus” and “Islets of Aspergers”, display hyper realist and surrealist features attached to a more traditional, human form sculpted base.  The works address a wide spectrum of topics, encompassing medical conditions, societal brain washing, and vegetative laziness.

While many of his creations display the symptoms of the much larger, collective problems of modern man and his societies, one can not help but surmise that the sculptor will go on to address the solutions to such problems, and, if they appear as curiously beautiful as the pieces below, well then he will have gained the respect of a whole new legion of fans.
