Art Works Paris Seoul Gallery is pleased to present LEE EU\u2019s solo exhibition from August 19 to September 30, 2022. Lee, who\u2019s artistic endeavor involves finding harmony with the essence of materiality, has established an oeuvre beginning with her Paysage-Matiere works\u2014first revealed in Paris\u2014and further progressing into the Geste and Peinture en question series. Experimental materials used in Lee\u2019s work exhibit traces of the artist\u2019s actions, as well as sculpt their own form by dynamically inhabiting the surface of the canvas. Lee often employs \u2018All-over painting\u2019 to maintain control over her composition, while gradually allowing external factors such as the subconscious, gravity, and space, to expand her dialogue with the art. Lee\u2019s three series\u2014which share \u2018matiere\u2019 in common\u2014examine the way a line exists on a plane.<\/p>\n

Lee has most recently been immersed in her Peinture en question series, which name was inspired by the title of Supports\/Surfaces\u2019 first exhibition. Active throughout the 1960-70s in Southern France, Supports\/Surfaces was a minimalist avant-garde movement that reacted against the abundance of Catholic painting in Paris, and on the contrary strived to unearth the new potentials of painting by deconstructing it and highlighting its materiality. The Peinture en question series focuses on the relationship between and materiality of the canvas and the pigment. The excess of pigment(mati\u00e8re), which extends outside the canvas, elevates the canvas to an independent structure of itself (as to how it previously existed as a supporting frame of the image), proposing a \u2018question for painting\u2019 with an unconventional situation that brings together the canvas and the pigment to form a medium for painting. By reducing the artist\u2019s interference\u2014to the level of simply allowing gravity to shape the work or applying minimal brushstrokes\u2014Lee also provides viewers with the opportunity to contemplate upon the meticulous process of painting.<\/p>\n

Born in 1976 in Korea, LEE EU has lived and worked in Paris, France, since 2007. Lee\u2019s exploration of the \u2018material as a mati\u00e8re\u2019\u2014initially developed during her time studying Painting at Hongik University\u2014has earned the contemporary artist an international reputation. Lee, who received her masters degree at the \u00c9cole des Arts D\u00e9coratifs de Strasbourg, further completing a residency at Cit\u00e9 Internationale des Arts and Daegue Art Factory, is currently in Artist-in-Residence at the Pium Residence. Lee continues to expand her study into the relationship of the material and the surface. Meanwhile, Lee\u2019s upcoming exhibition presents new works from her Peinture en question series. The opening reception will be held on August 19 (Fri.), 2022, at Art Works Paris Seoul Gallery, located in 3F, 16, Bukchon-ro 4-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea.<\/p>\n
