| |  |  | | | art in ASIA raises the question about the Korean contemporary art in the 21st century. The special feature must be very significant in that it is the first attempt to sum up the objective opinions from the art people (museum directors, curators, critics, journalists, etc.,) in the world who have been concerned with the Korean fine art so far.

Lee masterfully creates these exquisite aesthetic forms by accentuating the relationship between the organically curved outline of the tree and the sinuous metallic surface. He forms his materials. He respects their inherent qualities but also dominates them, both by force of skill and by force of will. In doing so, he initiates a dialogue, both with them and with us as spectators. For Lee, nature is neither a subject of confrontation, nor of subjugation and domination, but is the precious source and reason that he needs to learn for his work. When we show respect for nature, it then becomes a place of reconciliation between materials and shapes, not a stage of confrontation.

Raab grew up in Canada, studied surface physics and mechanical engineering, and later received his doctorate from McGill University, Montreal. Recently his solo show “Surface Tension” is now on showing from 24th Feb. to 25th March at Michael Schultz Gallery, Seoul. He says “The art begins formalized, boundary and then begins to quickly escape and deform and seek other dimensions. Where we are and what we are, are but probabilities; empty space contains energy and space is deformable by the presence of matter which is always in motion.” More.. |  |  | | | Maeul-misul Art Project is the public Art Project changing commissioned villages by artists and residents with supports of organization manager Maeul-Misul Art Project Committee and local governments.
