What the..

I came across this artist while doing some random googling, I thought it was weirdly awesome so I just had to share!

Gwong Osang's artwork looks as if it might be ceramic statues, but when you get closer you'll see it's actually  made up entirely of photographs. Gwon takes hundreds of photographs of one model then layers them over a mannequin. He distorts the arrangement of the photographs, playing with the idea of the truth and normality. I'd say he's a modern day Monet with a twist. What do you think?
