Gyuwon Lee (Seoul, Korea) develops a very interesting artistic work from a personal theory, perhaps somewhat ironic but seriously metaphysics about his country of origin; Korea.

The artist assumes that Korea is what is currently by influences that has suffered over time: China until the nineteenth century, and continues in North Korea. Japan's colonization of 36. U.S. currently in South Korea. Perhaps, Korea, could be the result of superposition of the three powers, USA, Japan and China.

From this metaphysical approach, and always in the aesthetic sense, Gyuwon's plastic work develops a sublime intensity,new pop, full of color and nuances, in which all elements are easily recognizable, always around iconic elements of this three potentials. Gyuwon Lee is Korean but lives and works in London, so it is aware that this kind of influence can be extrapolated to other cosmopolitan cities that also draw on external influences.
