A steel-wire portrait of painter Yang Dal-seok on a Geoje museum

A portrait of Geoje-born painter Yang Dal-seok has been installed on the exterior of Haejoum Art Museum in Geoje. Sculptor Wi Se-bok made it from intersecting straight steel wires as the first Art Photo Zone project of the Art Island Geoje Council.

A portrait in wire

Announced by organizer Gaia on October 6, the work builds a face from the density of crossing wires instead of paint. Dense crossings read as shadow and sparse ones as light, bringing the portrait into view. The museum’s outer wall now introduces a local painter.

Visiting

The museum website directs visitors to Naver for admission reservations. It has not been confirmed that the outdoor work can be viewed at any time, so operating days and viewing hours are best checked with the museum.
