李炳虎善用矽膠來解構及重塑一張張的面孔,不僅描述了典型的社會含意,更多的是展現它靈活的特點,從它消耗空氣來隱喻我們的環境和生活方式,為社會的關切發聲。空氣,一種權威的重要來源,決定了他手中的塑像神態是能言善辯的,作為李探討兩極化的可能,同時提供生存和死亡的取向。

對李炳虎而言,對話、文化、環境和媒體是以無形理論來衝量的,意謂它們通過空氣粒子組成的管道,污染個體的脆弱靈魂;暴露在這種氛圍中,我們改變、反應及重塑自身,呼吸這地球的大氣終至決定人類的存在與心靈。塑像外表的皺紋,見證年輕女子從花樣年華轉變成疲憊年邁的婦人的煎熬,典型雕塑頓成時間與歷史的縮影。具備傳統希臘雕塑的神態,《Vanitas Bust》(Lot 1681)真實細緻地被塑造成希臘化時期的大理石雕像。頭部膨漲充氣使作品具有流暢且堅實的冷酷外表,驗證它最大限度的柔韌性,也許藉此深化年輕的特質。無奈、歷練和掙扎隨著時間流逝,呈現在面部輪廓上,化成深深的皺紋和空洞的表情,恰似模仿希臘化藝術的誇張表情;李擁抱光、影和情感的強烈對比,揭示人們的狀態和思想。進一步與這個紀元接軌,李炳虎演示蛻變和生命來揭露他對年輕的著迷,展現將人類的存在化成不朽雕塑的相同慾望。繼承這種令人焦灼的迷思,皮膚的壓痕激起我們內心的脆弱,迫使我們面對被深藏抗拒的壓力和由現實社會所觸發的思緒。

Utilizing silicone to deconstruct and reconstruct a face, Lee Byung Ho doesn't merely depict the stereotyped social implications it possess but moreover, exploits its resilient characteristic to present insightful societal concerns: the ongoing consumption and expulsion of air becomes a functional metaphor for our environment and way of life. Air, a vital source of authority that decides the movement of his sculpture is eloquently manipulated as Lee investigates its bi-polar propensity in simultaneously providing life and death.

To Lee, dialogues, culture, environment, or mass media is measured as an invisible theory that channels in form of air particles, contaminating the fragile souls of individuals; where through such exposure, we alter, reflex and mold ourselves, breathing in this Earth's atmosphere that dramatically determines our human presence and psyche. Demonstrated on the shriveling exterior of the sculpture, the young woman painfully and drastically ages into exhausted elderly woman that reveal time and history that classical sculptures epitomize. Attending a posture of classical Greek sculpture, Vanitas Bust (Lot 1681) is delicately crafted in such realistic resemblance to the marble statues of the Hellinistic period. The head inflated with air surfaces a smooth yet firm coolness, verifying its utmost flexibility, to perhaps over insinuate the youth of this character. However as time unfolds the horizon of experiences struggles within the facial features, motioning the depth of wrinkles and hollow expressions that impersonate the theatrical expressions of Hellinistic art, where Lee too embraces the high contrasts of light, shadow and emotions to expose the human condition and state of mind. In conceptual likeness to its era, Lee manipulates decomposition and life to disclose his fascination with youth, exhibiting the same desire in immortalizing human presence in a sculpture. The succession of exhilarating suspense provoked by the creasing of the skin aptly torment our inner vulnerability by making us confront our deeply denied distress and state of mind triggered by society today.
