About this artwork
In my studio, the process begins not with a brush, but with the tactile soul of Hanji—traditional Korean handmade paper. For me, nature is not a scenery to be observed from a distance, but a living organism to be touched and reconstructed.
My identity as an artist lies in the 'labor of the hands.' I do not simply paint; I build a landscape by layering time and patience. I dye the Hanji with natural pigments, then meticulously tear each piece by… hand. The irregular, fuzzy edges of the torn paper represent the 'breath' of the material. When these pieces are collaged together, they create a tactile matiére that a flat canvas could never achieve.
As the ambient light in your room changes throughout the day, the shadows cast by the paper’s edges shift, making the forest appear to sway and breathe. I invite you to look beyond the image and feel the material—where the ancient breath of Hanji meets the contemporary longing for nature's raw ene

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.
