OH, Seung, 1981-
Oioio (Sculpture)
Seung Yul Oh graduated Master of Fine Arts
from Elam School of Fine Arts in 2005, one of
a new generation of migrants drawn to study
in New Zealand from South Korea, also
including Jeena Shin, Hye Rim Lee and Jae
Hoon Lee (no relation).
Oh moved to New Zealand in 1997 and, at
time of writing, has just opened his first solo
exhibition in his home town of Seoul, where he is
currently undertaking a residency in an
artist-run space founded and managed by
well-known artist Choi Jeong Hwa, who shares
Oh’s playful sensibility.
