Lee Bae (Hardcover)

Hardcover. The first worldwide monograph on internationally acclaimed South Korean contemporary artist Lee Bae.Showcasing Lee Baes renowned brushstrokes series, this book includes previously unpublished artworks and a folio of perspectives on one of Koreas most important living artists. Lee Baes monochromatic practice is a formal and immersive journey into the abyss of blackness. Subtly blurring the lines between drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, Lee has developed his abstract aesthetics across mediums and boundaries to imbue noncolor with tangible depth and intensity. Charcoal, obtained by burning wood and used to revive fire, offers a powerful metaphor for the cycle of life that has further inspired him to expand his exploration to include the fourth dimension of time.This beautiful and exciting volume is a treasure for art connoisseurs, collectors, and contemporary art researchers around the world, as well as readers interested in post-media spirituality, gestural creativity, and East Asian lineage and traditions. The first worldwide monograph on internationally acclaimed South Korean contemporary artist Lee Bae.
