About the artwork
Rather than pursuing visual images through thick touch sense of oil colors, Lee Jung-Woong attempts to reveal the mental value projected into his paintings. Virtually, his paintings do not nearly reveal the properties of oil colors. They hide such properties and vehemently render the surface texture sense of the subject matter, thus triggering visual confusion. His paintings put viewers in the illusion of looking at real objects beyond realistic images. This technique is at the level of magic.
About the artist
Born in Korea in 1963, Lee Jung Woong is the masterful creator of the internationally acclaimed 'Brush' series of paintings.
