Korean artist Oh Yi-Ryang has unveiled a work entitled “EXISTENCE-WAVE”, created using Shin-Etsu's silicone RTV rubber.
Oh arranged thin strands of silicone rubber on the canvas, combining them into straight and curved lines to form an icon. For viewers, the experience is tactile as well as visual; they are welcome to touch the work to feel the soft texture of the silicone rubber used to create it. The work was on exhibit last fall in Japan, where Oh gave a one-man show, and has been exhibited in a number of other countries worldwide.
