White Cube Seoul presents a solo exhibition of new sculptures by Los Angeles-based artist David Altmejd (b. 1974, Canada). Marking Altmejd’s first solo exhibition in South Korea, the presentation brings together recent bust and head sculptures made in his LA studio.

Sculpted heads and busts have been a focus of Altmejd’s practice in recent years. Fantastical and uncanny, their skilfully realistic features are often interspersed with crude expressionism, gobbets of raw matter or hanks of fur. The sculptures can also be seen as proxies for the artist, with different characters as manifestations of aspects of his personality, or messengers from the subconscious.
