Noodles x Art

Two things:
My job sees me dealing with various disciplines and facets of art on a rather regular basis (which I'm really thankful for). Whether it is film or visual art (lately with literature too, actually), I find myself gravitating towards Asian artists more for inspiration and enjoyment.
I have fallen dangerously in love with South Korea and its culture/everything since my travels in the Fall. I know it's all in the head but I'm even developing a Korean appetite (everything tastes better with kimchi — even it's just rice wrapped in bamboo salted seaweed).
So imagine my double excitement when I stumbled upon this series of work called 'Myun' by Auckland-based artist Seung Yul Oh. I love it!

(jjajangmyeon - a Korean take on Chinese black bean noodles, naengmyeon - Korean cold noodles, ramyun - Korean instant noodles)
Um, YUM? I love all the above noodle dishes wtf. Koreans do it better.
Anyway what makes it even more spectabular is that these 'sculptures', made out of epoxy resin, silicone, steel and aluminium, rise to a height of more than 3 metres!

Oh, to have noodles that go for miles. See more more of Myun and other works here: http://www.ohseungyul.com/
(ALSO: Very much belated — but JKT wishes the Internet the bestest things in the new year!

Here's to hopefully more than one blog post and of course, another year of friendship and good times x)
