Ice Cream Sculpture

This is not an ice cream. Minseok Kang's Ice Cream Sculpture series borrows the familiar, sweet form of ice cream to embody the desires, fantasies, and cultural icons of contemporary life. The Return of the King, UFO, Olympic Flame, Count Dracula, Friday Ice Cream, Spider Man, Slimer, LOVE ME — each work creates an entirely new meaning at the intersection of pop culture icons and the vehicle of ice cream. These small sculptures, with 13×13cm bases made of acrylic paint, resin, and stainless steel, reveal Minseok Kang's world where humor and sharp vision coexist. Ice cream is a symbol of desire — consumed, melted, and gone. Within it, Minseok Kang inscribes a cross-section of contemporary society.
