The gesture Painting

" Noble simplicity and Great silence imply history and existence. I'm constantly digging for that quiet place. " I was born in Seoul and have loved drawing since I was a child, so I honed my skills in representation, perspective and depiction for a long time. I majored in Western painting at Sungshin Women's University in Korea and went to graduate school to specialize in painting. For two years, I imitated the light of Post-Impressionism and gradually developed into abstract painting. While attending graduate school, I copied or studied Bonnard, Monet, Kandinsky, and Bartok (music). Then, I am convinced that I have to go with pure formative beauty until now, and as a philosophical approach, I am working with a baroque exaggeration and continuity as well as an exploration of what human play is fundamentally. I want to talk about human freedom with tension orchestrated around a few bold actions while being conscious of off-screen. The gesture of my brush in the painting is a part of my baroque taste, as if one day, I painted it as if I was longing for a dramatic connection between the past and the current event. In the middle, I came to associate a landscape with clarity and boundaries, and the landscape tried to become a piece of music by arranging and connecting accumulated memories on a flat surface with colors. https://www.lydia-lee.com/
