About the artwork

Escalating the figurative into almost photo-realistic representation, Lee Jung Woong astounds in his ability to capture detail and speak through his silent strokes. Employing a distinctly Oriental manner of foreground and space, the artist transforms his canvas of Korean paper into a linear element of the art itself, effacing its role as medium and re evoking it as a balanced component of the image as a whole. In this image, the artist captures ink, brush and paper as subjects, not composing elements, effectively contrasting traditional representation and blurring the lines of canonical concealment of process. The thick stroke that frames the subjects is the silent acknowledgment from the artist of his unconventional subject- showcasing the brush- the humble tool- as the unabashed protagonist of his work.



About the artist

Born in Korea in 1963, Lee Jung Woong is the masterful creator of the internationally acclaimed 'Brush' series of paintings. Bold, profound and breathtakingly dramatic - Lee Jung Woong’s intricate works command lucidity in spite of the abstract, and empower the objects of his depiction with hyper-realistic life. Having attained his Masters in Fine Arts from Keimyung University, Korea, Lee’s works have been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions worldwide, including America, Switzerland, Singapore and Spain and are part of prestigious auctions at Sotheby's and Christies.
