Description
Showcasing Lee Bae's renowned 'brushstrokes' series, this book includes previously unpublished artworks and a folio of perspectives on one of Korea's most important living artists.
Lee Bae's monochromatic practice is a formal and immersive journey into the abyss of 'blackness.' Subtly blurring the lines between drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, Lee has developed his abstract aesthetics across mediums and boundaries to imbue 'noncolour' with tangible depth and intensity.
Charcoal, obtained by burning wood and used to revive fire, offers a powerful metaphor for the cycle of life that has further inspired him to expand his exploration to include the fourth dimension of time.
