Upon entering the exhibition hall, the large-scale work &#8220;Rendezvous_True Survivors&#8221; reminiscent of a foundation painting welcomes visitors beyond challenge and intricacy, feeling sublime. Lee Jeongwoong is undertaking several missions in the still-life series. As a thorough witness, he observes objects and implements them realistically. On the other hand, he manipulates the collection, combination, and changes of light in still-life, encountering a change in perspective between reality and virtuality. Lastly, he injects the narrative of a virtual painter that began with &#8220;I Wanted to Believe it Was a UFO,&#8221; causing a narrative overturn. The conclusions of these missions do not lead to a clear visual conclusion in any direction. However, his visual personality is clear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-40304\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2024\/04\/13002542\/03-%EC%9D%B4%EC%A0%95%EC%9B%85-Fertilized-Green-2023-Oil-on-canvas-100-x-100-cm_crop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"598\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Jeongwoong Lee, Fertilized Green, 2023, Oil on canvas, 100 x 100 cm<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This X Mission X will provide a fresh visual shock of still-life painting, where you can see Lee&#8217;s still-life series of the past three years at once.<\/p>\n<p>Obscura<br \/>\n164, Seongbuk-ro 23-gil, Seongbuk-gu, 02879, Seoul, South Korea<br \/>\n+82 0507-1374-0407<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obscura.or.kr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WEB<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/obscura_seoul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">INSTAGRAM<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/obscura.seoul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCWHHGl-WJdUxa28n00UkABw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YOUTUBE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[50,51],"class_list":["post-40300","insights","type-insights","status-publish","hentry","category-insight","category-stories"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["ko","en"],"languages":{"ko":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights\/40300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/insights"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
