South Korean Artist Creates Striking Metal Sculptures Using Stacked Pipes

Yi Chul Hee, a South Korean sculptor, creates striking metal sculptures using stacked pipes, forming detailed images that shift with the viewer’s angle.

His work, often depicting people, animals, and abstract designs, incorporates empty spaces as integral elements, resulting in a unique halftone effect. Beyond technique, his art conveys deep messages, such as his 2018 Gwanghwamun exhibition piece symbolizing anti-war and peace with the phrase “We are one,” which he expressed a desire to donate to a meaningful place.
