poster for Lee Ufan Exhibition

This event has ended.

A survey of Lee Ufan’s work from 1978 to the present, including works on paper, oil paintings and mixed media paintings on canvas will be installed at the gallery’s 57th Street location. In his series "From Point," Lee uses one brushful of paint to apply compact spots across the canvas until gradually they dissolve into the field negating the concept of positive and negative space. The artist spreads his large, rectangular canvases across the floor, and in a full- body gesture works in a carefully defined framework of repetition. As he drags his paintbrush across the surface, enabling the viewer to consciously experience the element of time embedded within, process as content is revealed. Works from the series "From Line," "From Point," and "With Winds" use the repetitive action of brushstrokes on canvas to create a sense of dynamic tension between his gesture and the picture plane.
