Lee Jae Sam

Biography

Lee Jae Sam (b.1960) from Korea graduated from Gangnung National University in Korea with a degree in Fine Arts (1984) and later pursued a Master’s degree at Hongik University in Korea (1989). A true artist at heart, he believes that a painting is an endless journey of confession and monologue. His renowned charcoal on canvas works transforms mundane day-to-day issues to fantastic contemporary art. The charcoal texture in his works absorb all the light around it, making it look very rich and deep, revealing the layers of monotone colours inside. The still darkness from the images of his works brings healing and cleansing power upon us with a wave of serenity.
