Lee Bae and black go a long way back together. The story begins in the early 1990s and with his arrival in Paris. He had just left his native South Korea and was entering a period of transition. But chance soon brought him a remedy: not only to the feeling of loneliness and strangeness of being abroad, to the nostalgia, but to the financial problems too. One day, close to his studio, he found a warehouse selling sacks of charcoal. The material reminded him of his origins, the world of India ink, calligraphy, and a deep grounding in the Korean tradition with its symbolic power and poetic impact. It also turned out to be inexpensive. Now began the adventure of black. Lee Bae would spend fifteen years working with this material, exploring all its striations, and bringing all its many plastic possibilities in order to affirm and valorize the qualities of black.
