Yoo Young-ho (Korean: 유영호, born 1965[1]) is a South Korean sculptor.

Career

He graduated in 1991 from the College of Fine Arts, Seoul National University. Later he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in Germany.[2]

One of his sculptures is located in Seoul's Digital City subsection. It is known as Square-M Communication, a piece of large-scale installation art that resembles a man looking at his own image on a screen. It is 7m in length, 6m in width, and 6m in height using blue-painted stainless steel, representing peace and neutrality. The sculpture is seen briefly in Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

He became famous with his Greetingman project,[2] consisting in huge blue-colored statues of a bowing person.[3] One statue was installed in Montevideo, Uruguay.[4] Yoo's intention was to start the project at the farthest place from Korea.[5]

Yoo's idea is to promote peace around the world with his artistic concept; one of his statues has been erected near the Korean Demilitarized Zone, in Haean, Yanggu County, Gangwon,[6] which was the battleground of one of the fiercest battles of the Korean War.[5] Yoo plans to further erect 1000 statues in places like Vietnam, Berlin, and Palestine.[6][7]
