JaeHyo Lee

No ordinary bed of nails, Jaeyho Lee's  0121-110=106062 (Bench) marries nature and industry, and epitomizes his distinctive sculptural style. Countless nails are pounded and driven into the wood, then ground and polished. The whole piece is set aflame, burned and charred. One can feel the sweat of the creator, but marvel at the elegance and wit of the creation. The artistry of Lee is how seamlessly he blends sculpture and design, and bridges the divide between the countryside and the factory, something rarely seen in the work of studio craftsmen.
