Lee Kyong
- Introduction of Artist
- Lee Kyong is a distinctive artist who perceives external stimulation or emotions in daily life as colors.
For Artist Lee Kyong, who says she views color with her heart, not with her eyes, color is the motif and theme of the creation. She eliminates the tangible shapes from the canvas and reconstructs the colors by ordering them.
The abstract artwork depicted with this practice becomes diverse and infinite imaginary open spaces depending on viewers’ sensibility. It is noteworthy that she interprets and describes instant feelings and conditions as adjectives used to describe the characteristics and status of something. She has been continually working onsince 2012. The creation happens in a moment in daily life when a sole emotion emerges as a wordless color; she makes color pallets with paints, finds a good match with an adjective for the color, and titles the color with the adjective. The artist, who says she is the merriest when producing the color pallets, has created about 370 of her very own colors in the last decade. Recently, she has been working on uncovering and recording the colors corresponding to emotion every 15 minutes and organizing them on a grid and horizontal line. The colors collected and reorganized on canvas for days, months, and years become the history of Lee Kyong’s emotions. These artworks, which unfurl the colors that recorded the artist’s emotion for a year, are the personal almanac written by colors. The artist Lee Kyong(1967~) has graduated B.F.A. Hong-ik university in Seoul, Korea and Diplom, Hochschüchule für bildende Künste Braunschweig, Germany. After returning from Germany, she participated in solo and group exhibitions in several art museums and galleries as the Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Young Eun Museum of Contemporary Art, Kwangju, etc. Currently, she is living and working in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do Province.
