From Lora Reynolds Gallery:
“Lora Reynolds is pleased to announce Bending Moment, an exhibition of sculpture by Jong Oh—the artist’s second presentation at the gallery.
In a first encounter with an artwork by Jong Oh, from afar, his work registers as a delicate and precise line drawing—the black outline of a cube, for instance—improbably levitating, devoid of any substrate, in three-dimensional space. What appears to be a thin stroke of ink seems to have been removed from paper or canvas and made to float in mid-air. Closer inspection reveals the work is not a drawing at all—but a sculpture of thread or fine black jewelry chain and thin metal rods, held aloft by a few cleverly arranged lengths of practically invisible monofilament. For Oh, the boundary between a drawing and a sculpture is more a question of time—attention, awareness—than dimensionality.”
