Art presents 《Dialogical Self》, a solo exhibition by Korean native, contemporary artist, Lee Jinju.
Ms. Lee (BFA, MFA; Hongik University) melding tradition with contemporaneous
philosophy in her thought-provoking artworks.
Professionally
trained in Oriental Painting, she employs the boonchae technique, a distinctly
Korean painting method where clusters of mineral pigment, previously suspended
in water, are crushed and applied to a canvas coated in an adhesive. This East
Asian style of painting with its lack of shading shows the true color of things
(saek-gal) and plays into Lee’s narrative intent.
