Artist(s): Sun-Kyung LEE
Date: 23 Nov - 22 Dec 2012
Sun-Kyung Lee, who draws self-portrait, has used conte and charcoal. Selecting that materials is relating to her honesty derived from own will and realization. Like this, her personal profession reveals inner mind to audiences. Also, her self-portraits with sad and fright face and a brush stroke make unique atmosphere. Her face on canvas or paper is relating to constant research and observation. She tries to find a desire for finding myself among mass and the link between her and the world in her face and draws that. Flowers around face are grotesque and dynamic. Also, full leaf is equated with herself, as well as means other people's eyes. In the frame of portrait, becoming classic in Western art, Sun-Kyung Lee shows a characteristic of contemporary art obviously. A face without any feeling between honest and free lines, a cold eyes within fright and strange forms provide a moment emptiness and healing are crossed ironically in our minds.
