LEE Jihyun
LEE Jihyun (b.1979) embarks on a journey of stacking up gathered experiences and memories on to the canvas. The artist creates imaginary landscapes; merging public places that she has visited in the past with very personal spaces. Famous tourist attractions are interconnected with spaces that represent personal life, such as the inside of a closet or the top of a desk, to form another dimension of time and space. By exploring the various elements of painting as a medium—such as composition, color, negative space, perspective, and reproduction—LEE uncovers the nuances of tangibility in her work, which are marked by brushstrokes and traces of paint.
LEE Jihyun received her BFA and MFA from Sungshin Women's University (Seoul, Korea) and MFA from School of Visual Arts (New York, USA). Participating in her first group exhibition in 2000, the artist has since been in a number of international exhibitions across various countries such as Japan, Switzerland, and USA. She has held nine solo exhibitions at Arario Gallery, Doosan Gallery, Gallery Hyundai and Gallery Sun Contemporary. Her works are in the collections of MMCA, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and Arario Museum. She currently lives and works in USA.
