Hyun Jou Lee

For the artist, the organic forms that appear in her works are often animated by a life of their own that echoes all the species that populate nature, much like the shells she collected while walking on the beach as a child. Furthermore, aren't these forms so many memories of a life we try to forget and that catches up with us? Yet, these vestiges of the past are sometimes the only ones that reassure us. They are so familiar. The gesture on the canvas is lively, almost unfinished, imbued with a constantly renewed freedom.

In her constructions, multiple geometric shapes intersect: arcs, triangles, squares, and broken lines. The isolated or tangled forms are then survivors of a struggle where art is the battlefield. Thus the visions on his canvases are as many attempts to reduce space-time and to recompose the past, the present and the future.
