In Ridge Strains, Lee Hyun Joung navigates alongside the roving assembly level of two adjoining our bodies. The artist melds the inventive and aesthetic traditions of her native Korea with these of her adopted residence in Paris, rendering intricately bisected landscapes the place the 2 converge.
Opening subsequent month at Galerie Sept in Brussels, Lee’s solo exhibition contains a number of new work made with handmade Hanji paper and ink from Korean pigments and fish glue. The artist usually works on the ground, drawing every skinny, sweeping line in a type of meditative trance. “As an alternative of flattening the paper, I let the random embossed sample present by way of. I take advantage of my brush to create line patterns to emphasise or impede the paper’s pure reduction. By the actions of my physique, I create a rhythm, with out a structured plan,” she advised critic Isabelle de Maison Rouge upfront of the present.
Lee’s works seize this repetitive movement as they heave towards the central crest. Her work have grown in complexity lately, increasing on the mountain-like landscapes to puncture terrains with deep, hidden valleys. The vertical “Chemins de Vie” works, for instance, comply with a winding path that loops and turns again on itself to create pockets alongside the ridge. Likening every line to “a day within the lifetime of a human,” the artist grasps on the connection between time and house the place seemingly disparate experiences be part of collectively.
Ridge Strains runs from April 4 to Might 19. Discover extra from Lee from Galerie Sept.
