About this artwork

This painting visualizes the abstract realm of the artist's memory through the artist's unique technique of tearing and stacking delicately colored hanji.

The tearing and stacking technique maximizes the softness and delicate texture of hanji, adding depth and rich expressiveness to the painting. The overlapping pieces of hanji create subtle changes in light and shadow, giving a sense of three-dimensionality, and presenting various impressions depending… on the viewing angle.

For the artist, "Last Spring Day" is not simply a past, but a special experience made up of fragments of various emotions and images. The act of stacking the torn pieces of hanji one by one is like the process of gathering and reconstructing scattered pieces of memory.

Through this painting, we can see how the traditional material hanji is reinterpreted with modern techniques to create artistic value.

Lee Yong-wook: Carving the Breath of Nature into Hanji

Lee Yong-wook is a contemporary artist who reinterprets Hanji (traditional Korean paper) to capture the raw vitality of nature. His work is a meditative journey, translating the energy of forests encountered during his daily cycling into physical layers of paper.

The hallmark of his artistry is 'Incision'—delicately carving hand-dyed Hanji with a blade. By layering paper and revealing hidden textures, he creates a profound contrast between material softness and sharp, rhythmic marks, imbuing the surface with sculptural depth.

Since 2019, Lee has collaborated with Gallery M at major fairs in Hong Kong and Busan. Recently, his reach has expanded via Singulart, where his work resonates with collectors across Europe. His signature series offers a sanctuary of tranquility, sharing a universal message of harmony and the enduring power of life.
