Lee Bae Brushstroke-11J, 2025
Charcoal ink on paper
260 x 170 cm
Lee Bae started a new series titled Brushstroke around 2020. The most apparent feature of this series is the fact that, once Lee starts, he can hardly hesitate or change the movement of his brush. In this sense, Lee moves into a realm that beholds the essence of East Asian ink-wash painting and calligraphy which are practices in which how an artist sets the brush to paper and wields the brush are of paramount importance. Brushwork and the shades of ink set the tone for the whole piece.
