About the artwork
South Korean artist, Lee Lee Nam combines fine art and technology in his works, using LED monitors to represent traditional Asian sceneries. This use creates a striking duality between both traditional and modern image of Asia, fitting perfectly with contemporary issues of globalization. This treatment by the artist appears like a positive message of hope: traditional and precious heritage continues to live through inventions of the XXI century. Those screens and modern technique do not delete and replace cultural heritage but rather support it, giving it a new light.
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.
