Look at the amazing work of this Korean sculptor! When looking at them not only admires the beauty of his work, but also the surprise of the technique of execution!

The sculptor Lee Jae-hoo (#LeeJaehyo) from South Korea has been making Land Art sculptures for over 20 years. In his work, the sculptor refuses to use expensive and rare varieties of wood in favor of branches of fallen trees. Focusing on sharpened and visually pleasing shapes, the sculptor is able to transform solid tree trunks and their massive branches into ideal spheres, pillars and monolithic interior objects.

His works decorate exhibition halls, hotels and parks in America, Europe and Southeast Asia, works by Jae Hye Lee are highly valued among collectors of these countries. He won several prestigious awards, including the Osaka Triennial Grand Prix (1998).

Jae Hye Lee uses unusual techniques for his work, such as not storing nails in wood, but bending and grinding them to show off. To change the natural color of materials, burns them. This creates beautiful abstract structures with shiny metal nails. He also creates sculpture, furniture and decoration elements from sawing pine logs, shapes, scale and technique of the artist are very unusual.
