Description
John Pai Liquid Steel by John Yau A comprehensive survey of the work of Korean American sculptor John Pai, this monograph explores his inventive and intricate three-dimensional sculptures made from steel and copper. Pai's unique approach involves creating complex forms from individual rods, often welding hundreds together to produce textured sheets. Born in Korea at the age of 11, Pai immigrated to the US and developed a prodigious talent for art. He received a scholarship to attend Pratt Institute and went on to become a professor there, leading its fine arts and sculpture programs for nearly four decades. This book brings together Pai's rarely seen early work with his more recent creations, offering a full-career survey of his inventive and innovative practice. Through Pai's sculptures, the boundaries between object and movement are blurred, creating a sense of transformation and change. This monograph provides a unique insight into the life and work of this important contemporary artist.
