Artist Lee Jong-man has been pursuing paintings that reveal the flow of sensations and energy within the canvas rather than reproducing the subject matter.
His work traverses the boundaries between figurative and abstract art through rapid brushstrokes and the clash of intense colors, vividly revealing the tension and movement inherent in living beings on the canvas.
In particular, the forms within the canvas remain not as fixed objects, but as moments of existence that are constantly swaying and changing; the trajectories of the brushstrokes and the density of the colors generate sensory energy and vitality.
Ultimately, rather than explaining form, Lee Jong-man’s paintings capture the moments created by the collision of sensations and movement, expanding the unstable energy and vitality of existence into a powerful canvas.
