Hyun Jou Lee

 

Born October 6th 1965 in Korea.

As long as the artist can remember, painting has always been important to her. It was a way to express her feelings after being separated from her parents at a very young age. The organic shapes appearing in her works are often animated by a life of its own which echoes to all species that populate nature, a lot like the shells that she picked up as a child while strolling on the beach. Aren’t those shapes souvenirs of a life that we try so hard to forget and that catches up to us? Nevertheless, those vestiges of the past are sometimes the only reassuring aspects. They are so familiar to us.
