Lives and works in Seoul, korea
Chounhwan Lee(b.1956), who had been mainly working on literary and ink paintings since he took the rostrum in his early 20’s, established his unique art world by reinterpreting Korean painting from a modern viewpoint. As seen in his semi-figurative art, his artworks began from finding Korean subjects and finally reached complete abstractness with his latest series.
His major selected solo exhibitions include 《Enthusiasm: A Waking Mountain》(SEOJUNG ART, Busan, Korea, 2023) and 《Rooted Island》(Saatchi Gallery, London, UK, 2022), and 《Map of Light》(Sotheby‘s, Munich, 2019). Major selected group exhibitions are such as 《APRICITY》(FRIEZE LONDON, NO.9 Cork Street, London, UK, 2024 and 《Instead of a result, a process》(M5 Gallery, Tokyo, Japan, 2023)
