Articles [Critique] Digital Landscapes by a Second-Rate Artist "I wanted to make fake photographs that are extremely meaningless because I was really irritated by words and theories surrounding art. I wished my photographs to be meaningless, empty, and completely nonsensical."

Articles [Critique] Lee Gapchul’s ‘Conflict and Reaction’ Beautiful things overflow everywhere. Whether in painting or photography, everything is uniformly polished and decorative.
