Description
Gap Chul LEE creates formidable, intense black & white photographic images that perfectly capture the spirit of Korean culture. LEE's audacious camera work conveys an oppressed primal impulse and a world of shamanism rooted deep in Korea's collective unconscious.
This stems from his characteristic manner of work: approaching subjects intuitively and directly and relying on contingency, free from aesthetic consideration. He prefers rough cropping to a tidy finish or meticulous composition, drawing out chaotic force rather than a harmonious virtual world.
This book includes Gap Chul LEE's most iconic series of works, Conflict and Reaction (1990-2002) and Energy-Qi (2002-2007), as well as his ongoing projects (2008-present). More than half of the book covers the projects underway, which are previously unpublished.
Although these works are separate entities, they can be read as a single body of work as they connect solidly to one another in terms of tugging at the vitality and spirituality one possesses.
