Lee BAE

The pictorial and abstract universe of LEE Bae, a Korean artist, concentrates on one evocative power: the material. He creates with perfect alchemy an essential equilibrium between charcoal’s profound black for his abstract forms, and the milky white color obtained thanks to resin and extremely smooth successive layers of acrylic paint, that make the real skin of his paintings. These gracious lines are like shadows in weightlessness; without references, they are mental images that the artist repeats on canvas in a methodic way in order to give them life and reveal this striking contrast between force and lightness. This abstract form is self-sufficient without an anecdotal or narrative aspect. It demonstrates its real nature, its essence, offering to the painting a zone of energy, purity and spirituality.
