[The Korean Artist] 이진우 작가 (Lee Jinwoo) - 'calme' / ENG

Artist 이진우(Lee Jinwoo)
Born in 1959 in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Lives and works in France.
For Lee Jin Woo, creation is meditation. His work process is long, physically demanding and repetitive, like a prayer recited over and over again.
The artist’s works bring together strata of traditional Hanji paper and layers of wood charcoal.
Sometimes pigments, especially blues, are added.
Lee Jin Woo builds a space and time, a world of light; a universe where even storms and breezes are noiseless.
In front of these rectangles and squares of matter, both rustic and refined, dense and mute, an original universal manifests itself.
Arte povera, minimalism, relation to void… Lee Jin Woo’s work falls in line- with his specific signature - into Korean contemporary tradition.
The heritage of the generation of Dansaekwha artists intersects here with Lee Jin Woo’s distinctive and specific urge for immersion, absorption, and even disappearance.

[@jskim.9122]

To not want one's art to say or mean anything sounds very Buddhist...

[@avicennitegh1377]

I was thinking the same. Very Ch'an or Zen or, Korean Seon. I like the thoughtful way he explains what happens in front of the Nothing.
