About the artwork

Exemplifying the use of formative principles, Lee Jung Woong’s works contain an inherent harmony of space, place, proportionality and visual perception that bring about an image seemingly devoid of misplacement or elements that are distorted. This results in an imitation that transcends the canvas to express dimension, depth and texture, almost as much as a tangible object would. Moving beyond pure aesthetics, however, this piece plays on the balance between space and energy. It is composed of a liberated splash that moves into a single sweeping stroke, this contrasts with the wide expanse of it’s base to comment on the clash of oriental and Western, and the balance of energy. Yin and Yang, dark and light are positioned together to form a cathartic image of tranquility, while the motion and dynamism brings to focus the ever-changing, ever-moving nature of energy.



About the artist
