Painting - Lee Ufan - From Line 1977 - Munn Works

Description

Lee Ufan masterfully incorporates the precision of calligraphic strokes into his abstract art, showcasing his disciplined approach through the use of straight lines of uniform width and spacing. By choosing blue cobalt-cadmium pigment instead of traditional ink, Lee sets his work apart from conventional ink painting, highlighting his unique artistic vision. His piece "From Line" illustrates this blend of tradition and innovation, with lines that are both solid and porous, and a canvas that oscillates between fullness and emptiness. The title "From Line" reflects a dual meaning: it signifies both the start of an artistic process and an ongoing exploration. By emphasizing “from as much as line, Lee underscores an openness to evolution and continuity, challenging the rigid categories often imposed on Korean artists and their work. This print comes beautifully framed in gold wood molding.
