About the artwork
Lee Lee Nam’s pieces combine light and sound, capturing movements and change in lightening. The artist believes that video art can express imagination thoroughly and is able to convey more atmosphere and surprises with each variation he chooses. The artist finds a right balance in between painting and video: his works changes through time and space slowly, delicately, allowing the viewer to reflect on his representations. This piece was inspired by Northern Song dynasty painter, Guo Xi's Early Spring piece which was painted in 1072. Considered as one of the greatest landscape painter, his paintings gave multiple perspectives which he called "the angle of totality".
About the artist
South Korean artist, Lee Lee Nam creates innovative and dynamic aesthetic masterpieces by combining the use of technology with classic representations, using monitors to replace canvases and translating his work into "pure, moving image art". Born in 1969 at Damyang, Lee graduated with a Ph.D in 2007 from Yongsei University, Seoul, Korea. His creations of post-modern video artwork are as fictitious as dreams overlapping reality and one's illusions, encompassing both the traditional and modern image. Lee's artistic displays are found in New York, Beijing, Germany, Washington, and he has held over 200 exhibitions worldwide.
