36 x 28.75 inches, 91 x 73 cm. Winner of the Seoul Arts Center Young Artist Prize, Lee Sung O's innovative paper assemblage, Facing The Truth. It is said of Lee Sung O that he is an old spirit with a young mind. While so many young Korean artists are looking to the West for guidance, Lee Sung O has found inspiration in the soulful symbolism of traditional Korean folk art. His work is a most inventive and unrestrained interpretation, true to the defiant spirit of Korean folk art and its long history of preserving the people’s traditions while being heretical regarding official dogma. He has created an entirely new technique of gluing stacks of colored paper together, soaking, drying, and cutting the stacks into strips, and then assembling them so that only the edge of the paper is visible, creating exciting works of great textural density that are composed entirely of the paper’s edge. His work uses an everyday material to make us look at objects (and the world) from a different viewpoint and in an entirely new way, reminding us that innovation and beauty shouldn’t be forced or contrived and needn’t be sought in unknown regions, but can be rooted in tradition and found naturally.
