Jamie
Salmon is
a British born, Vancouver resident, contemporary
sculptor. He specialises in photorealistic sculpture,
utilizing materials such as silicone rubber, fibre
glass, acrylic and human hair.
The
themes of Salmons works are varied . He says "
I like to use the human form as a way of exploring
the nature of what we consider to be "real"
and how we react when our visual perceptions of
this reality are challenged. In our modern society
we have become obsessed with our outward appearance,
and now with modern technology we are able to
alter this in almost anyway we desire. How does
this outward change affect us and how we are perceived
by others? "
Jackie
K. Seo is a Korean born, Vancouver resident, contemporary,
sculptor. She says "In each work I like to
capture those reflective moments, where we can
have so many mixed emotions. Nowadays, we are
feeling more and more isolated from each other,
although we have more ways to communicate than
we ever had before"
Although
Salmon and Seo work together they usually produce
their own individual art works, but do occasionally
collaborate on a single project.
Their
work can be seen on permenent display in the
MEFIC collection, which opens in Portugal,
early 2009. MEFIC is a contemporary sculpture
museum showcasing work from some of the worlds
most influential modern contemporary artists .
