Bicycle Chain Art

Figurative Sculptures Made From Tightly Welded Chains. Korean artist Young-Deok Seo 서영덕 creates imposing figurative sculptures using tightly knit configurations of welded bicycle chains and industrial steel chains. 
While impressive in their intricacy and the apparent skill required to create them, the artwork’s titles such as InfectionAnguish,InfectionEgo, and Addict, suggest the rippled surface created by the materials is not an arbitrary decision. These are figures of individuals in dispair, pockmarked with disease, the chains acting as a metaphor for the human condition. (rip from Trust Me, I'm a "Designer")
